Who are the key players in the energy transition?
Agri-hubs
In the agri-hubs, seeds are processed into vegetable oil. This takes place in the oil extraction lines within the plants, combining industrial efficiency with the socio-economic development of rural areas.
The collaboration centre
Agri-hubs are real driving centres of skills for unlocking the full potential of the agricultural system. Collaboration between farmers and research institutes turns effective around these structures.
Services to communities
The colleagues from Eni Kenya provide the necessary technical support for the farmers: from seeds delivery to training courses as well as the most effective techniques for cultivation or water conservation in area subject to drought-prone.
The protagonists of the transformation
The protagonists are women and men who find in the project an opportunity to work and access the market.
80,000 farmers involved.
After the start-up of the first agri-hub in Kenya in 2022, there was a second one to follow by 2023: the impacts include income generation for more than 80,000 households in 2023, rising to 200,000 in 2026.
500 workers involved
About 500 workers in the agri-hubs in Kenya by 2023.
Services
Eni provides agricultural inputs, seeds and other services to support farmers.
Sustainability
The project will bring significant economic benefits, reaching up to one million households by 2030.
Transformation through collaboration
Makueni, Kitui and Kwale. These are just some of the counties in Kenya that have been transformed through collaboration between farmers and agri-hubs.
