Case Study 1: Smallholder Success in Kitui

Farmer: Margaret Nduku
Location: Kitui County, Kenya
Challenge: Frequent drought and low maize yields from conventional seeds

Results: After switching to Tsavo 4141 Hybrid Maize Seeds in 2023, Margaret achieved a remarkable yield of 38 bags from one acre in a season marked by low rainfall. She reports that the plants matured faster and resisted common pests and diseases that previously devastated her crops. She now uses Tsavo 4141 exclusively and sells surplus maize in the local market for profit.

Case Study 2: Commercial Farm Efficiency in Trans-Nzoia

Farm: Kilele Farms Ltd
Location: Trans-Nzoia County, Kenya
Challenge: Balancing yield performance with production costs on 10 acres

Results: Kilele Farms adopted Tsavo 4141 on a trial basis across 2 acres in early 2024. Due to early maturity and low pest pressure, the variety outperformed existing hybrids. With a recorded average of 44 bags per acre and reduced input costs on fungicides, the farm expanded its Tsavo 4141 coverage to 7 acres. The success story was highlighted in a local extension officer’s report via the Ministry of Agriculture.
