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.
