Cereal Growers Association (CGA) is a member based farmer organization registered in 1996 in response to the liberalization of the grain market in Kenya.  Its establishment was due to challenges encountered after liberalization of the grain sub-sector. These broadly include inappropriate policies, limited access to proper production technologies and inefficient market systems.
