The County Government of Lamu has set aside a budget of Ksh. 100 million towards establishing an Aggregation and Industrial Park in the County.

According to Lamu Governor H.E., Issa Timamy EGH, OGW the county will also provide land and infrastructure towards the establishment of the industrial parks and aggregations that will in turn help towards creating employment opportunities and increase value addition on products.

“We are not only going to create employment for those who will be working at the facility but local farmers and their employees,” said Governor Timamy, adding that this will help increase the level of income within the County.

Towards this end, the State Department for Industry on behalf of Lamu and other counties has officially invited bids for the construction of Proposed County Aggregation & Industrial Parks.

The construction of industrial parks will create value addition and aggregation on all farm produce before getting to local and international markets.

The investment has been termed to be a game changer towards unlocking Lamu’s economic potential. Key sectors that Lamu County will prioritize for value addition include; fruits, milk, fish, beef and nuts.
