“The process of disposing of rice by-products, including husks, has been a major headache for both farmers and millers for many decades in this region,” Kabiru tells The EastAfrican.
“The husks take too long to decompose, so dumping them isn’t effective, while burning them openly isn’t friendly to the environment either.”
From this challenge, Kabiru has developed a profitable and environmentally sustainable venture that has created employment for him and six other young men at his biochar production yard.
