Satisfied Customers
I bought 18 bags, at KES 250 per bag from Kaiti Agrovet. The bags have been of great help to me as I no longer have to use chemicals while storing cereals.
I bought two bags from Kitui Horticultural Farmers Cooperatives Society Store where I am an official member. I bought them at Kes 250 per bag. As Ardent lover of "muthokoi" (staple food from the region usually made of boiled corn) I am happy with the bags as long as no longer use chemical dust for preserving food for my family's consumption
I bought 3 bags from Mwangaza General Merchants at KES.250 each. I have been using the bags without incurring any issues. I attest that my cereals are well preserved and I have not witnessed any case with weevils in the stored grains.
