I continued increasing the nursery beds until Irri-Hub Ke came and installed drip irrigation," Kwaga shared. Irri-Hub is a young company specialising in irrigation tailored to fruit and vegetable farming in East Africa. Its products help smallholder farmers increase yields beyond subsistence farming to help farmers sell their produce at local markets. The ministry has identified a number of opportunities to support farmers, including supporting research, seeking out sources of funding and providing advice.
