Upscalling & Implemetation Details:

Support for Tropical Initiatives in Poverty Alleviation received KES 6,813,000 to implement a 2-year bean value chain project titled; “The project is upscaling three new high nutrient-rich and high yielding bean varieties (Angaza, Nyota, and Faida) to smallholder farmers in Kisumu, Siaya and Vihiga Counties”. The overall objective of the project was to increase the adoption and production of improved bean varieties in order to improve food security, nutrition, and income. The project targeted to reach 1,350 farmers directly and 8,100 indirectly.

The project was promoting the production of tradeable volumes with plans to establish collection/aggregation centers for the collective marketing of beans through contracts with buyers. The project ended in March 2022.
