Supporting the development of agro-processing SMEs is one of the four key pillars on which KAAA has anchored our goals. We believe that facilitating the development of agro-processing SMEs through building their capacity, facilitating access to information, finance, markets as well as other enablers, is a crucial component towards achieving Kenya’s development goals as outlined in Vision 2030 and other similar programs. KAAA, through our various initiatives, supports our SME members with these and other interventions with the long-term goal of facilitating their growth and expansion.
