@othayaglobalnews: Joy for Mathira tea farmers as a new tea collection center is launched In a significant development for local tea farmers, Solomon Maina Solo, Chairman of the KTDA MS, today commissioned a new tea collection center in Kiaritha-ini, Iria-ini Ward, Mathira. This is a personal initiative of the Chairman Solo jointly with the local community. This is a major step towards improving access to the market for local tea farmers. The new facility is expected to streamline tea collection, reduce transportation challenges, and enhance income opportunities for hundreds of smallholder farmers in Iria-ini ward. A new tea collection center will benefit local farmers by providing a centralized location to sell their harvest, potentially increasing their income. This will streamline the process of tea production, ensuring better quality control. This project may lead to more tea production in the tea industry, creating job opportunities and boosting the local economy. The modern facility which took only a few months to be complete will be serving hundreds of small - scale farmers in Kiaritha-ini, Kiamwangi and Muhuhi areas. For years, tea farmers in Kiaritha-ini and its surrounding areas faced the challenge of transporting their produce over long distances to the Ihwagi Tea Collection Center. This facility which serves as a hub for high volumes of tea collection, has often been overwhelmed by the sheer amount of produce coming from local farmers. Recognizing this issue, the Chairman pledged during the public meeting to support the construction of a new facility to better serve the community's needs. He extended his gratitude to the community and the diligent construction team, whose combined efforts will be pivotal in completing the project as soon as possible. The decision to build the new tea collection center aligns with ongoing advocacy for the quality handling of tea, which is essential to securing better prices in the market. By improving the logistics of tea collection, farmers hope to enhance the overall efficiency of their operations and boost their earnings. Many of the benefits this new center will bring, not only in terms of convenience but also in fostering economic growth in the region. The initiative exemplifies the power of collaboration between local leadership and the farming community to address critical issues impacting their livelihoods. Local tea directors, leaders led by MCs host David Kabatha, Jackson Kabingu (Magutu) and Julius Kamiri (Konyu) lauded the new project saying it will benefit the tea farmers directly. #tea #mathira
