[kictanet] Counterfeit Eggs and why we must automate produce records

[Mark Mwangi]

Kenchic has had a farm-to-fork system for a while now and I believe this is
what prompted the likes of KFC to set up shop here. Even the produce in
Marikiti should be traceable to the individual farmer that grew the stuff.
This will force accountability and in the case of contaminants Isolation
and further action.

Juakali methods are a detriment to everyone.
