Has anyone here done sorghum farming for deliverary to EABL? 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.

@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)?

Looks like a good harvest, so what did you do with it? And what have you planted instead?
