Organic farmers market opens new opportunities for smallholder farmers in Kiambu
With support from the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT in partnership with PELUM Kenya, the launch of the Ki-Smart Organic Farmers Market in Mboroti, Ndeiya, Kiambu County, is creating a direct link between organic farmers and consumers seeking safe, healthy, and sustainably produced food.
Access to reliable markets remains one of the greatest challenges facing smallholder farmers in Kenya. Even when farmers adopt sustainable production practices, limited market opportunities often prevent them from earning fair returns on their investments. The launch of the Ki-Smart Organic Farmers Market in Mboroti, Ndeiya, Kiambu County, is helping to change that narrative by creating a direct link between organic farmers and consumers seeking safe, healthy, and sustainably produced food.
The official launch of the market marks a significant milestone towards strengthening agroecological enterprises through improved market access, strategic partnerships, and farmer-led networks.
