A partnership between Kenya and South Korea, known as Kopia, was launched in 2020 to enhance the productivity and profitability of indigenous chicken and Irish potato value chains in Meru County. The project, which has benefited 6,000 people directly, has led to the establishment of hatcheries, provision of training in best practices, and the creation of a cold storage facility for potatoes. The initiative has seen a significant increase in production and income for local farmers, with plans in place to continue supporting them through the adoption of new technologies.
