KDC Injects Sh500mn into Githunguri Dairy as Corteva Launches New Fungicide for Floriculture - November 2025

The Kenya Development Corporation (KDC) has injected Sh500 million into Githunguri Dairy Cooperative Society (GDC) to boost financing for MSMEs. This funding is part of the World Bank-backed SAFER Programme and aims to expand access to affordable credit. In another boost to the agricultural sector, Corteva Agriscience Kenya has launched Verpixo® 100 SC, a new fungicide to support Kenya's floriculture sector. This product helps rose growers combat powdery mildew and botrytis, diseases that threaten exports. These developments come as Kenya's agricultural sector is advocating for a 10-year stable tax framework to enhance competitiveness and encourage long-term investment, citing inconsistent fiscal policies as a hindrance to growth.
