Sunflower Value Chain Project

The sunflower value-chain project aimed to improve incomes for 320 farming households and support local economic development.

SPIP was a 12-month sunflower value chain project in Trans Nzoia and West Pokot counties, aimed at improving the productivity and income of small-scale farmers.

It set out to increase sunflower productivity, improve access to markets, increase farmers’ financial inclusion through access to credit and other financial services, and add value to sunflower by producing oil and animal feed, creating new market opportunities for farmers.

To increase the income of 320 target farming households in Trans Nzoia and West Pokot counties by August 2024.
