What the system does
What the system does
Farmer records, extension visits and market links are held in one place. Ward officers enter them in the field; sub-county and headquarters staff report from the same records.
Farmer profiling
Every farmer is registered with their land, crops, livestock and ward. That baseline is what makes targeted, accountable support possible.

Farmers request advice, officers respond and log the visit. Requests are routed by ward and by value chain, so none are lost in transit.

Collection, organisation, analysis and sharing in one place, giving officers and decision makers timely, actionable insight.

Priority value chains
Key agricultural value chains in Makueni County
Makueni County continues to strengthen agricultural value chains that improve livelihoods, promote food security and drive local economic growth.
Green grams (ndengu)
Green grams anchor food security at household level, backed by certified seed, aggregation centres and links to local and export buyers.
Dairy & livestock
Livestock keeps value on the farm through milk, meat and breeding stock, supported by improved breeds and animal health services.
Apiculture
Beekeeping supports biodiversity while providing honey, wax and steady income, with cooperative-based marketing behind it.
Indigenous poultry
Indigenous poultry gives households fast-turnover income and is a practical entry point for young and women farmers.
Sorghum & cereals
Sorghum, millet and maize sustain households through the season and feed a growing contracted brewing and milling market.
