G.C.C.E ANNUAL GENERAL
MEETING HELD ON 7TH JUNE 2011
|
|
The problems caused by climate change were a major talking
point at this year’s AGM, held at the beginning of June
and attended by 99 delegates from our 11 primary societies.
One experience that the chairman Mr Wambette shared with the
delegates was the ferocious attack of the leaf rust disease
on our coffee in 2010, the result of increased temperatures
encouraging the fast multiplication of organisms carrying
diseases. He also talked about some of the mitigation measures
we are taking, such as the climate change adaptation tree-planting
project.

Through music and
drama the Quality group of handsorters and loaders encouraged
the delegates to push on the good practices learnt and information
shared at the AGM to the farmers back home in their respective
societies. This year we filmed the event and will be taking
it to the primary societies on Mt Elgon so that all of our
members can see what their representatives discussed. |
