Nairobi, Kenya: As the leading Microfinance bank in the country, Kenya Women Microfinance Bank (KWFT) appreciates agribusiness as a key driver in helping address poverty reduction and has launched various loan programmes that are aimed at empowering farmers to optimize production.
With the ever expanding demand for dairy products both locally and regionally, dairy farming is poised to play an even greater role in Kenya’s economic growth. Already, the local dairy sector contributes around seven percent of the country’s overall Gross Domestic Product and directly supports over 1.5 million small-scale farmers.
