Abstract

皇冠体育app Rift Valley Products (RVP) company restored and took a long term lease on the disused Salawa ginnery in 2009 and cotton production began its revival in the Kerio valley of Kenya. 皇冠体育app RVP has also promoted cotton production in Western Kenya and Pokot. 皇冠体育app business model is to promote enough production locally to make the Ginnery commercially viable, while impacting on the local economy through smallholder capacity building in an old trade that is new to this generation. AECF has provided a match-funded grant of $1.3million to improve ginnery infrastructure.
