The Cheptebo Centre farm has evaluated many mango varieties and now recommend the best varieties for the Kerio Valley area. All of these varieties are available for sale.
Banana production is well suited to the area. The nursery obtains tissue-culture banana plantlets from Jomo Kenyatta University, then grows them on at Cheptebo until they are ready for sale and planting.
Orange and other citrus varieties are grown on the farm, and seedlings for orange, lemon, tangerine (pixie orange) and other varieties are available in the nursery.
Pawpaw is a fast growing tree with fruit which finds a ready market. It can also be interplanted with mango or citrus to give a harvest before the other trees begin to bear fruit. Dwarf and local varieties are available now.
Our staff will be pleased to advise on the most suitable varieties for your situation, and on a selection of mango varieties to extend your harvest period.
The Mango Drying factory on the project site will only accept Apple mango for drying. Pawpaw may also be required for drying in future.
Banana plantlets are produced by a tissue culture technique under laboratory conditions, then grown on in the Cheptebo nursery until ready for planting.
