COMMUNITY INITIATIVE FARMERS CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY LIMITED: TRANSFORMING AGRICULTURE IN MERU COUNTY

 

In the heart of Meru County, a revolution in agriculture is taking root—driven by Community Initiative Farmers Co-operative Society Limited. This registered farmers’ organization is dedicated to transforming rural livelihoods through organic farming, innovation, and climate-smart agriculture. With over 300 active members, primarily from Igembe South, the cooperative is making waves by empowering farmers with market access, certified nurseries, and modern agribusiness solutions.

Why Community Initiative Farmers Co-op Stands Out

Unlike traditional farming groups, this cooperative focuses on sustainability and profitability. It provides:

✅ Certified Nurseries – Offering high-quality banana, avocado, apple, and macadamia seedlings under the supervision of Horticultural Crops Directorate (HCD) and Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS). This ensures farmers get the best start for high-yield crops.

✅ Climate-Smart Agriculture – Emphasizing eco-friendly farming practices that enhance soil fertility, conserve water, and boost productivity despite unpredictable weather patterns.

✅ Market Access & Hass Avocado Expansion – The cooperative is bridging the market gap by introducing Hass avocados, a high-value crop with both local and international demand. This initiative creates employment opportunities for youth and the entire community, ensuring that farming is not just a survival tactic but a thriving business.

✅ Strategic Location & Support – Headquartered at Igembe South Youth Empowerment Center in Maua, the cooperative serves as a hub for training, networking, and knowledge-sharing among farmers.

A Vision for a Better Future

The goal is simple yet powerful: to inspire sustainable agriculture that transforms farmers’ livelihoods. Through collective efforts, members are not just growing crops—they are building wealth, securing food security, and positioning Meru County as a leader in modern farming.
