Private sector firms and consortiums in Kenya are among the nine across East and Southern Africa that are eligible for the Soybean Challenge Fund.
The fund, which has been launched by FoodTrade East & Southern Africa, seeks to unlock barriers in the regional soybean value chains.
It will provide up to 49 per cent of the total proposed budget of proposals received, with successful applicants entitled to grants ranging between Sh36.3 million and Sh116 million per proposal.
Marc Van Uytvanck, the team Leader of the programme said that development of regional soybean value chain systems focuses on promoting trade in staple foods.
