Tea farmers drawn from Bobaracho ward in Nyaribabri Chache constituency have a reason to smile after the area Member of Parliament Richard Tong’i promised to construct a modern tea buying center in the area.
According to the farmers they have been facing many challenges since they have been having a bad conditioned tea buying center hence demoralising their tea farming efforts.
The legislator who visited the tea buying center today regretted of seeing area residents who depend on tea as their main cash crop lacking the best tea buying center and said the construction of the center will being in a few weeks time.
“All I want is to see our farmers get more yields and income and that one can be achieved if they are all comfortable and I will ensure they have a modern tea buying center in the next few weeks,” he added.
The Mp called upon the area farmers to ensure they adopt to the latest farming technology to ensure that they get more income from their farms.
“We have the potential of becoming the highest tea producers in the country and I want you all to ensure you use technology as a tool to increase your income,” he added.
