Post-harvest transport and manufacturing losses are now a reality. This is very devastating for youth agribusiness, most of which predominantly operate at low volumes due to resource constraints. In some way, e-extensions should come in handy, where county governments should move in swiftly to continue supporting organized youth procedure groups. At the same time, e-marketing using specifically designed digital Apps or social media platforms, should further help them while slowly catalyzing change within the greater small-hold farming communities, with the main objective of connecting youth procedures and agro-input suppliers to end consumer and exchanging marketing trends. I thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker."}
