Nuru Kenya Market Seeks Fair Prices for Farmers
In the 2015 long rains harvest season, Nuru Kenya piloted an approach of linking farmers to reliable markets where they can commercialize their crops. By aggregating and selling farmers’ surplus produce, Nuru Kenya helps farmers optimize their earning potential and make the most of their crop yields.
Market linkage activities involve a number of steps from the initial purchase from farmers, transport and aggregation, and the ultimate resale of grain. This photo series, from Kiomakebe and Komomange sub-locations in Migori County, Kenya, depicts just a few of the steps that farmers experienced as they took their grain to a Nuru Kenya purchase point.
