Introduction
In Rawinji, West Kamagak, an exciting initiative was launched to boost sunflower farming in the county. The distribution of 27,250 kg of sunflower seeds to 7,000 farmers, covering more than 7,000 acres of farmland, marks a significant step towards ensuring food security and economic stability in the community.

The production of high-quality edible oil will not only contribute to food security but also create opportunities for value addition and entrepreneurship, fostering economic growth and attracting investments in the agricultural sector.

Additionally, the initiative fosters a sense of pride and community involvement.
