The West Pokot County Government has launched the distribution of 4,200 coffee seedlings to farmers in Amon Village, Murkwijit Location, Mnagei Ward, in a bid to promote sustainable agriculture and boost household incomes.
The exercise, led by County Executive Committee Member (CECM) for Agriculture, Irrigation, Livestock and Fisheries Wilfred Long’ronyang, saw four farmers receive the seedlings to support the expansion of coffee farming in the area.
Speaking during the launch, Long’ronyang urged farmers to adopt coffee cultivation, describing it as a high-value crop with the potential to enhance earnings and drive economic growth in the region.
The initiative is part of the county’s broader strategy to diversify agricultural production, strengthen food security, and empower small-scale farmers.
Agricultural officers also provided guidance to beneficiaries on proper planting, crop management, and seedling care to ensure successful establishment and improved yields in the coming seasons.
