History & Little-Known Facts

Mwea Pishori rice has a long-standing tradition in Kenya’s culinary culture. Introduced in the 1950s, the crop has become a staple due to the fertile volcanic soils and controlled irrigation in the Mwea region. The name “Pishori” is derived from “Basmati” varieties, though it is uniquely adapted to Kenya’s climate.
