Bayer advances farmers safety with more than 3,000 PPEs donation to Cereal Growers Association

Bayer East Africa has donated Personal Protective Equipment, including 1,000 nitrile gloves, 1,000 masks, and 1,000 goggles, to the Cereal Growers Association (CGA) as part of their farmer safety initiatives.

This initiative underscores Bayer’s ongoing commitment to advancing agriculture, while prioritizing safety in all aspects of its operations and supporting stewardship activities that equip farmers to stay safe.

The donation was made to the Cereal Growers Association (CGA), Bayer’s long standing strategic partner who are instrumental in educating farmers, sharing best practices, and helping agricultural communities build sustainable farming.

Speaking during the handover ceremony, Bayer’s Agronomy Advisory and Stewardship Lead Smallholder, Nimrod Lucky emphasized on the organization’s commitment to farmer safety.

“Safety is a core value for Bayer, and we are deeply committed to ensuring that every user of our products is equipped with the knowledge and tools to protect themselves and the environment. PPE is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to mitigate exposure risks. By making this equipment available, we aim to eliminate barriers to safe practices and reinforce our dedication to building a responsible, safe, and thriving agricultural sector,” explained Nimrod.

The PPE donation, facilitated through Bayer’s Global Stewardship Team in Germany, reflects the company’s unwavering focus on advancing agricultural practices responsibly.

Through CGA’s hands-on training and outreach programs, this equipment will be distributed directly to farmers, ensuring that they not only receive essential protective gear but also the education needed to use it effectively.

Anthony Kioko, CEO Cereal Growers Association expressed his gratitude for Bayer’s timely support. “This donation comes at a crucial time when the safety of our farmers is paramount. We are grateful to Bayer for their generosity and commitment to the well-being of our agricultural community. CGA’s role in educating farmers and promoting sustainable agriculture is indispensable. By supporting their efforts, we are investing in a future where farmers can thrive while safeguarding their health and protecting the environment,” added an elated Anthony.

This partnership exemplifies the shared vision of Bayer and Cereal Growers Association (CGA) to create a safer, more sustainable agricultural sector.

By equipping farmers with essential resources, both organizations are taking a significant step toward reducing risks associated with farming practices and fostering long-term environmental stewardship.
