According to Business Daily, Agri-tech firm Twiga Foods sacked 130 sales agents in May for what it attributed to poor performance.

 Twiga Foods Chief Executive Officer Peter Njonjo said the company will now engage with independent sales agents whose sales are increasing.

Twiga contracted independent sales representatives in October last year after employees on contracts were terminated in November last year.

Twiga employs technology to supply small companies in city estates with low-cost farm products like bananas, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, mangoes, and cabbage.

The company operates in the counties of Uasin Gishu, Embu, Meru, Kirinyaga, Machakos, Nakuru, and Kiambu and has claimed to provide services to roughly 33,000 vendors monthly.
