Purpose of the Strategic Proposal
The primary purpose of the Credit Fund is to provide two advanced bio-technology, 100% organic, liquid, microbial bio-fertilizers (Bio-Plant and Pro-Plant) under generous credit terms to enable Kenya to:
Completely phase out chemical farming and establish 100% organic agriculture.
Free up public resources for social and economic development within farming communities.
Achieve national goals regarding nutrition, public health, environmental protection, poverty alleviation, self-sufficiency, and sustainable food security.
Create a 100% organic cocoa industry.
The Fund guarantees that all farmers can access these organic substitutes on credit, with the price locked for the entire 4-year contract duration.
Manpower Development and Technology Transfer
Following the agreement, our commitment includes an intensive program of technology transfer and training for the national agricultural workforce:
Extension Worker Training: We will conduct specialized workshops to train agricultural extension workers in 100% organic farming methods using the bio-fertilizers.
This deployment will systematically increase crop yields, enhance crop immunity to disease, and improve crop quality, leading to a higher standard of living and the alleviation of rural poverty.
This initiative will structurally free Kenya from the detrimental social, health, economic, and environmental effects of chemical agriculture.
With proper planning, Kenya would become Africa’s first 100% organic agriculture country.
Youth Mobilization: We will train young people on how to establish profitable livelihoods from 100% organic farming, encouraging their return to rural areas and the development of unexploited land for the benefit of the national economy.
Financial Terms and Credit Options (0% Interest)
We guarantee a stable price for the entire 4-year contract, with provisions for increasing annual credit lines.
Four Suggested Plans
Plan 1: Year 1: US$25 million Year 2: US$25 million Year 3: US$25 million
Year 4: US$25 million Total: US$100 million
Plan 2: Year 1: US$25 million Year 2: US$40 million Year 3: US$60 million
Year 4: US$75 million Total: US$200 million
Plan 3: Year 1: US$12.5 million Year 2: US$12.5 million Year 3: US$12.5 million
Year 4: US$12.5 million Total: US$50 million
Letter of Credit (L/C) Terms
If an L/C is utilized, 30% of the annual amount must be paid at the start of each year. The remaining 70% will be paid at the end of the 12-month period via a Letter of Credit guaranteed by a recognized international bank that corresponds with the Thai bank.
The Approach to Agricultural Transformation
The strategy adapts to all existing farming segments in Kenya:
100% Chemical Farmers (Phased Transition): They can adopt a bio-chemical phase, halving their chemical fertilizer use in Year 1 while still increasing production and reducing costs by about 40%. They can then phase out the remaining 50% of chemicals over the subsequent years to achieve 100% organic farming with higher yields, superior quality, and lower costs.
100% Organic Farmers (Optimization): They will gain access to highly effective microbial bio-fertilizers, leading to a significant and measurable increase in crop yields and quality.
Farmers Not Using Fertilizer (Restoration): They will be empowered to restore their soil’s fertility and practice 100% organic agriculture, achieving significantly higher yields and quality than their current levels.
