KTDA (@KTDATea ) Managed Factory Re-Admits Over 2000 Small Scale Farmers in Bomet
The farmers claimed that the move was motivated by the fact the KTDA offered better returns to small-scale farmers as compared to the multinationals.
According to @KTDATea region 5 manager, Mr. Charles Manegene, KTDA provides better returns and service to smallholder tea farmers as well as other important requirements like cheaper fertilizer and extension services which has encouraged farmers who had left to come back.
While speaking to the press, Mr Charles Manegene said that Despite coronavirus affecting business including the tea sector, as @KTDATea they will maintain better services to farmers as compared to other companies.
He also added that KTDA has risen above it's competitors for better prices and the incentives provided to farmers among other benefits.
These benefits have gone a long way in increasing @KTDATea ownership which is over 600,000 smallholder tea farmers across 16 tea growing counties in Kenya.
