The Government has pledged to support the revival of Nyamache and Itumbe tea factories in Kisii County through crop rejuvenation, equipment modernisation and measures to curb tea hawking. Agriculture PS Paul Ronoh said the Government would consider the factories’ Sh250 million request for new machinery after technical teams finalise specifications. The investment will fund automatic withering machines, a CTC drier, orthodox tea-processing equipment and new buildings.
