Farmers vs Fruit Flies: Training Kenyan farmers to face the challenge

The Embassy of the Netherlands (Nairobi), in collaboration with Kephis and the Makueni County Government, is driving sustainable mango farming through farmer training. In January 2025, a workshop in Makueni trained 40 farmers on pest management, improving export quality. This initiative supports Kenya’s EU market access, enhances incomes, and strengthens food security. Makueni’s success in reducing fruit fly infestations showcases the impact of collective action and modern technology.
