The alumni community of Moeng College (MOCOL) has joined the world of business in the agricultural sector.

Led by former permanent secretary Dr Howard Sigwele, the alumni has formed the Moeng College Alumni Agricultural Cooperative Society, with specific aim of venturing into horticultural business.

The cooperative society has already leased almost 20 hectares of land. Some portion of the land (about two hectares) has been worked on and plots prepared. Garlic has been planted and the society is in the process of planting ginger. In an interview, Dr Sigwele explained that the formation of the society was a culmination of intense consultation among the Moeng College alumni community that had initially been brought together by concerns over the rapid decline of Moeng College's academic performance.
