Green grams, also known as mungbean, maash or moong (Vigna radiata L.), is a potential food and cash crop in Kenya and grows well in arid regions, playing a key role in local food security. In the regions where stakeholders of the green grams value chain have been interviewed (Makueni, Kitui, Tharaka, Nithi), the area under production typically varies from 1-10 acres per household.  This region produces over 95% of the country’s green grams. Development partners and the national government have included this crop in their seed distribution program and promoted it not only as a food crop but also a cash crop.  At KELS we facilitate market linkages between aggregators and farmers often providing seeds and training to farmers especially women groups.
