In Kisumu, the Akado farmers group has developed five different products using milled cricket flour. There is a close collaboration between Mixa and the Akado farmer group. The Akado farmers  rear the crickets, which are dried and processed into flour by Mixa and eventually given back to Akado farmers who use the milled cricket flour to make pastries (buns, doughnuts and cakes) and porridge flour within their value addition center. Singers and musicians however prefer to eat whole crickets, about which there is the myth that it will improve their sopranos.
