Garlic production in Kenya has been on the decline due to lack of enough information, lack of quality seeds, poor crop management and inconsistent market among other factors

But Saumu Empire would like to offer solutions that would radicalize garlic production in Kenya and Africa as whole. With well experienced agronomists, quality seeds e.g. JKUAT-1 and welldesigned marketing structures this dream will be achieved.
