The farmers came together to form this cluster with an aim of seeking a collective market for their productions. Each of them was to produce the same product at the agreed season which in return was to attract a reliable market.
Talking to Mr. Otieno Charles who is one of the group members, this is what he had to to say “this idea was so brilliant when we first thought of it, but later on it became a challenge to manage such a large group, since not everyone kept to the spirit…but we are still a young group that is just 6 months old since registration”.

Talking at his well utilized farm, Mr. Okello encourages other groups or even individual farmers to remained focused on working hard on their farms first before raising an eye at any possible support that may come from other supporters or organizations of good will. The farmer produces:
- Tomatoes in a green house that he contributed towards its construction
- Butter nut
- Orange flesh sweet potato
- Bulb onions
- Water melon
- Bananas
Construction of a water pan for the rain water harvesting is also in progress with the support of APHIA II USAID programme having recognized his great efforts.
