Farmers in Kesses have been advised to venture more on the cultivation of tea, coffee and horticulture.
While on an inspection tour to Chesunet and Chebaiywo dips over the weekend, County Executive in charge of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries Samwel Yego said the region is suitable for the cultivation of the said crops adding that its market is readily available.
"Taking horticulture for example,its maturity doesn't take much time when you compare with other crops and bearing in mind that people in Eldoret town like fruits,so ready market is in place," he said.
On cooperatives, Yego pointed out that there is need to relook on the sideshows that might be affecting them citing low uptake in the sub County compared to other sub counties especially to the youth.
He said youth need to make use of the County's cooperatives and enterprise loans as an avenue of direct empowerment to them, which the county has been championing passionately.
The CeC further said nearly all dips across the county require enhancement to tame rampant tick associated diseases.
Yego further called on farmers to attend the annual ASK show which is set for next week.
