SOUTH RIFT DIGITAL TEA EXCHANGE -AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME

SOUTH RIFT DIGITAL TEA EXCHANGE: An Idea Whose Time Has Come is a bold vision for the future of Kenya’s tea industry. For many years, tea from the South Rift has taken the usual route to market. What if the region starts to question whether there could be a different route—one based on competition, transparency, technology, and direct access to global markets?

The book offers a convincing plan for turning the future Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) into the digital core of a modern trading hub [through the establishment of a dry port city in the South Rift as the epicentre], providing a digital exchange infrastructure linking local farmers, warehouses, quality-testing laboratories, and international Markets.

The book also serves, at the same time, as an justification of the infrastructure developments and as a strategic roadmap—a physical and digital superhighway to the world markets. The book is a must-read for farmers, traders, technologists,co-operatives,independent companies,multi-nationals , and policymakers who are promoting a competitive, win-win market.
