Site of the commercial fodder farming project in Bura-Tana, Tana River County, where developers plan to establish irrigated lucerne production to create jobs and boost livestock feed exports.
Tana River County could gain more than 1,300 jobs and higher household incomes under a $35 million agricultural project that aims to turn its arid land into a commercial livestock feed production hub.
The investment will establish 3,250 hectares of irrigated fodder production in the Bura-Tana area before expanding to 12,000 hectares.
Developers expect annual output to grow from 75,000 tonnes in the first phase to 360,000 tonnes, targeting both local and Middle Eastern markets.
