@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

What are the requirements for planting sorghum? ie the land and soil.
It will help me determine if its a risky venture though I don't mind trying.
