Big Win for Local Youth Farmers!

On 26th July, the Mkombozi Youth Self-Help Group, a dynamic team of young farmers received hands-on training from the County Livestock Department on the use of a newly delivered chaff cutter machine. This vital equipment was provided by Kenya Wildlife Conservancies Association, Taita Taveta Wildlife Conservancies Association Association, and the GEF 6 grant through Mbale Ranching Co Ltd.
This initiative is part of the Combating Poaching and Illegal Wildlife Trafficking in Kenya through an Integrated Approach project. Earlier in March, the group received 40 high yielding Toggenburg and Alpine dairy goats top breeds in Kenya renowned for their milk production and adaptability.
In addition, the group was trained in feed formulation, including the preparation of Total Mixed Ration (TMR), and received essential livestock supplements and veterinary drugs to enhance goat health and milk yields.
These efforts are not only boosting agricultural productivity and improving livelihoods, but also reinforcing the link between economic empowerment and sustainable conservation.

On 9th October 2024, we took thirty shareholders on a ranch visit. The experience began with a brief introduction to the history of Mbale Ranching Company and its commitment to sustainable agriculture. As the group ventured out, they were shown the vibrant pastures, where our healthy cows grazed contentedly. The Chairman and the Ranch Manager explained the importance of pasture management and the practices employed to ensure the animals thrive in a natural environment.

Next, the tour led to the water pans and boreholes, highlighting the company's efforts in water conservation. Shareholders observed and appreciated the efforts the board and management have made to reinforce the company's dedication to sustainability.

Throughout the visit, the enthusiasm of the company staffs was evident as they shared stories about their daily operations and the challenges they face. The shareholders left with a deeper appreciation for the company’s practices and a renewed sense of connection to the land, understanding how their investments contribute to a sustainable future for the company.

Grazing plans are crucial in maintaining the health of rangelands, ensuring a balanced approach to the needs of both livestock and wildlife while preserving soil fertility and preventing land degradation. Thanks to the support of Taita Taveta Wildlife Conservancies Association, our ranch has successfully developed a comprehensive grazing plan through the Sustainable Management of Tsavo Landscape Project, funded by USAID.
Proper pasture management is key to achieving human-wildlife coexistence, reducing conflicts, and promoting biodiversity. When rangelands are managed sustainably, we not only protect the environment but also secure livelihoods for future generations. A well-executed grazing plan ensures that natural resources are used responsibly, benefiting both the ecosystem and the communities.
