In April 2024, Enable TAAT partnered with Kedar GAP, a leading name in agricultural development, to advance sustainable farming practices in Kenya. This transformative collaboration focuses on the Ngomano facility, a solar-powered agricultural hub in Makueni County, poised to revolutionize the farming landscape in the region.
The Ngomano facility is designed as a state-of-the-art center for agricultural innovation, equipped with cutting-edge infrastructure to boost productivity. Its standout features include advanced solar-powered systems for energy-efficient and eco-friendly operations, sophisticated irrigation systems to combat water scarcity and ensure sustainable crop production, and modern research tools and technologies that drive agricultural innovation and development.
At its core, the Ngomano facility is dedicated to empowering farmers through comprehensive training in sustainable agronomic practices. The goal is to equip farmers with the knowledge and tools to increase yields while minimizing environmental impacts. The facility also emphasizes developing robust crop value chains by providing access to improved inputs and fostering market linkages through contract farming arrangements.
This collaboration, supported by Kedar GAP and the Makueni County government, reflects a strong commitment to community-focused agricultural development. The Ngomano facility not only offers valuable training but also builds connections that enable farmers to succeed in competitive markets. By leveraging modern agricultural technologies, the facility aims to be a model for the future of farming in Kenya—where technology, sustainability, and community engagement converge.
For Enable TAAT, the Ngomano facility represents a critical step in expanding its agribusiness park model. This partnership aligns with Enable TAAT’s mission to drive agricultural innovation through strategic collaborations that combine technological advancements with localized needs. By supporting the development of hubs like Ngomano, Enable TAAT continues to contribute to a resilient and productive agricultural sector in Kenya and beyond.
The Ngomano facility is more than just a farming hub; it’s a symbol of progress. It showcases how integrating technology with community-driven strategies can uplift the agricultural sector, providing farmers with the tools and opportunities needed to thrive in an ever-evolving industry.
