About CGA
The Cereal Growers Association (CGA) is a national non-profit member-based farmer organization incorporated in August 1996. Our mandate has been to represent and promote the business interests of Kenyan farmers in the grain and related value chains for sustained improvement of their farming enterprises and address industry challenges.
Service delivery focuses on four pillars: Farmer Representation, Technical Support, Economic Linkages, and Information Sharing. We operate across 33+ counties, serving over 700,000 farmers through a network of 2,500+ Farmer Service Centers and field Agribusiness Coordinators.
"Join us as we collectively strive to transform the Kenyan agriculture sector into a sustainably profitable and rewarding experience for improved food and nutrition security. Together, we are Stronger! Together, we Achieve More! Together, We Grow!"
Transforming Lives Across Kenya
Farmer Service Centers (FSC)
FSCs are CGA's flagship last-mile delivery model — rural agribusiness hubs that bring quality inputs, certified advice, market access, financial services, and digital tools directly to farmers' doorsteps. Every FSC is managed by a CGA Agribusiness Coordinator who understands the community.
Financial Services
Record transactions, profits and losses for their business and use the statistics to support data-driven decision making.
Quality Inputs
Access to certified seeds, fertilisers and agrochemicals sourced from reputable suppliers at competitive prices.
Market Access
Direct linkages to aggregation points, off-takers and processors so farmers sell at fair prices without exploitative middlemen.
Digital Tools
Mobile-based platforms for farm records, weather alerts, price information and advisory services accessible on basic smartphones.
Yield Guarantee
Crop insurance and structured off-take agreements that protect farmers against losses from weather shocks and price volatility.
Advisory Services
Trained agribusiness coordinators provide hands-on guidance on good agricultural practices, post-harvest handling and business management.
