The government through the Ministry of Agriculture announced that it will avail Kshs. 3.55Billion as subsidy to cushion farmers against the current high cost of fertilizer. Agriculture Principal Secretary Francis Owino noted that the move is in accordance with the directive given by President William Ruto that the government will create interventions meant to make fertilizers affordable to farmers and boost crop productivity.
