Syngenta has launched a crop protection centre in Kiambu County, the first of its kind in Kenya.
According to Head of Crop Protection Development Africa and Middle East, Albrecht Michel, the centre will offer farmers solutions that have been tried and tested under local conditions through best agronomical practices.
Syngenta Business Area Head and Managing Director East Africa Fredrick Otieno said the centre will help local farmers cope with climate change as they will be able to adopt new technologies that are emerging like fall armyworms that are becoming a headache to farmers among others.
Peter Veal Syngenta Head of Sub-Saharan Africa and Industrial Sales AME said the centre will help feed the world via innovations and research.
