ABOUT US
Cereal Growers Association (CGA) is a national non-profit member-based farmer organization incorporated in August 1996. Its main purpose is to bring together commercial cereal farmers to promote collective action for the sustained improvement of their farming enterprises and in addressing industry challenges in Kenya.
CGA works with industry stakeholders such as government bodies, agricultural input suppliers, financial institutions, insurance companies, output buyers, development partners, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and others to provide services to its members.
CGA has its headquarters in Nairobi and is managed on a daily basis by a team of office-based professionals and Field Agribusiness Coordinators (ACs) who are spread across thirty-one (31) counties in Kenya, where CGA operates. These counties are located in all the main cereal-growing regions of Kenya and serve around 620,000 farmers. The team is led by a Chief Executive Officer who is appointed by a Board of Trustees.
