In a bid to improve food security and promote Hungarian technologies in Kenya, the Hungarian government through its research organization NAIK has signed a contract with a local Kenyan company HUNAgro Consult Limited. HUNAgro Consult Limited will set up demonstration farms for Hungarian agricultural technologies in two counties – in Mwea, Kirinyaga County and Timau, Meru County.
These farms will not only serve as sites for showcasing Hungarian technologies but will also double up as farmer training sites.
HUNAgro Consult Limited is a Kenyan based organization founded in 2018 as a private –sector company to provide agricultural consultancy with aim of introducing and promoting the innovative Hungarian Agricultural products and solutions in the African Market targeting small, medium and large scale farmers. This company supports farmers through training, mentorship and apprenticeship. The contract signing ceremony was witnessed by the Hungarian Ambassador to Kenya among others.
The collaboration between NAIK and HUNAgro Consult Limited seeks to bridge the gaps in agricultural technology transfer between the two countries. ‘As HUNAgro Consult Limited, we are excited by the opportunity to be part of this venture. By showcasing new innovative technologies in agriculture, we look forward to transforming the agriculture industry in Kenya, East Africa, and indeed, the entire African continent,’ says the Managing Director of HUNAgro Consult Limited, Kennedy Nzioka.
