From sweet local fruit favourites to innovative fruit-based products, the Fruit Festival gave small businesses a platform to grow while showcasing creative and value-added ways of transforming locally grown fare.

Cameraman Rajnauth Lal spoke with some of the participants, and Faith Cheruiyot brings the highlights.

The Fruit festival brought together entrepreneurs who displayed a wide variety of rare and familiar fresh and locally grown fruits, alongside value-added products ranging from beverages and preserves to healthy snacks and speciality foods.
