Kenyan textile manufacturers, who had been relying on imported dyes so far, can look forward to substantially lower their operational costs by using a newly invented natural dye.The textile industry in Kenya, which is striving to survive in the face of increased imports of second-hand clothes, can now expect a revamp, according to Prof. Richard Mibey, the principal researcher and Vice Chancellor of Moi University.
The research was carried out by Prof. Mibey, along with Dr. David Tuigon, Managing Director of Rivatex East Africa Textile Mills, and Billy Makumba of Moi University.
In 2007, Moi University acquired Rivatex East Africa after studying it for nine years as a basket case. The University launched many projects to boost the cotton industry as well as to provide better raw material for the Rivatex manufacturing unit.
Moi University also collaborated with Alexandria University of Egypt to help Kenyan farmers boost their cotton output.
