The County Government of Uasin Gishu has ramped up efforts to operationalise the Moisoy Maize Milling Plant, with renewed engagements aimed at fast-tracking its completion.
Through the Moisoy initiative, the County is partnering with Sued Company to co-finance the project and ensure the facility becomes fully operational, supporting value addition in the maize sector.
Under the agreement, Sued Company has financed key components of the project, including civil works and the installation of milling system machinery.
Once operational, the plant is expected to boost local maize processing capacity, reduce post-harvest losses, and provide a reliable market for farmers, while also creating employment opportunities across the value chain.
Speaking on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, during a stakeholder engagement meeting, Acting County Executive Committee Member for Trade and Cooperatives, Dr. Sam Kottutt, said the County is currently assessing and identifying critical components required to enable the plant to commence operations.
“Governor Dr. Jonathan Bii is keen on this project and has directed that it be completed before the end of the current financial year,” said Dr. Kottutt.
Launched in 2019, the MoiSoy Maize Milling Plant has faced delays due to financial challenges.
The plant is owed by about 7,000 maize farmers who are members of cooperatives from Moiben and Soy sub-counties.
