I need someone to share experiences. @mmarto, I would also wish to know this..I believe EABL contracts farmers to grow the sorghum via their subsidiary called East African Maltings.I read somewhere that there is a new hybrid sorghun seed being introduced to farmers via an organization called Africa Harvest. I would also like to know how long the crop takes to grow and how much EABL pays for it after harvest well i do have most of that info but i just needed to know of any caveats e.g how long they take to pay after delivery etc. I am preparing the shamba to plant by July 1st. @ mmarto: How did it go? What are your experiences with East Africa Malting Company? Also, would appreciate any info you have about the same. Email is: stocksmaster79@gmail.com. Happy Hunting. harvesting now..[img]/img] The only time you should be looking down on others is when you are helping them up.

@mmarto,
Where did you plant the sorghum?Is EABL still buying since Senator Keg sales went down(since sorghum was the raw material used to make it)?

Is there any other wazuan who tried the venture?
