I help smallholder farmers improve productivity through integrated agronomic and financial advisory.
What I'm looking for
At Viktas Sacco, I provide integrated financial and agronomic advisory to more than 650 smallholder farmers, helping increase average farm productivity by 25%.
I coordinate grower workshops on financial literacy and climate-smart farming, increasing member participation by 40%. I also use SACCO MIS data to track engagement and loan performance and recommend product improvements.
Previously at Bayer East Africa, I trained 500+ farmers on pesticide safety, Dekalb maize varieties, and crop-protection products, contributing to a 30% adoption rate for recommended practices. I supported on-farm trials, monitored crop health and pest pressure, and translated agronomic concepts into practical treatment guidance.
My background also includes digital household surveys with CARE International, organic farming research at KIOF, and commercial crop production and post-harvest handling. As a practicing farmer, I apply my agricultural knowledge directly to sustainable crop production, plant health, and agribusiness development.
