Agriculture CS Hon Mithika Linturi held a consultative meeting with the President of the Federal Republic of Somalia, H.E Sheikh Mohamud on the sidelines of the 46th session of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) Governing Council meeting in Rome, Italy.
He briefed him on the accelerated opportunities in Kenya’s agricultural sector especially in the miraa industry with Somalia being a major export market for the popular Kenyan cash crop.
“Kenya is aiming to increase the miraa exports to Somalia and other nations and also remove trade barriers that hinder growth of the Miraa industry as a cash crop for the famers,” said CS Linturi.
