For the past one and a half years, Gilad has been farming garlic. “We grow garlic, we buy garlic from farmers, we germinate quality cloves (seeds) for farmers, and work with farmers to produce even more garlic.”Gilad’s farm – which he co owns in a tripartite partnership – is located off Kiserian road in Isinya, Kajiado County. Perhaps, Gilad notes, it is part of the reason Kenya has few garlic farmers. Often, he says, people approach him, “with many acres of land” to venture into garlic farming. They chose garlic farming because “It is an underutilised sector,” he says.
