No results found.With a rapidly increasing population and stagnating agricultural production, significant questions are being raised as to how Kenya will achieve food security The majority of Kenya’s agricultural harvest is produced by smallholders, whose farms are characterized by high production costs and low yields In order to boost smallholder production in the past, the country ran large fertilizer subsidy programmes under which large quantities of fertilizer were purchased and distributed to key warehouses for collection by farmers The main problems with this system revolved around the following issues the frequent late arrival of fertilizer, the blanket application of one type of fertilizer for all soil types in the country and the exclusion of the private sector in the provision of fertilizers In response to these issues, the country committed itself to the development of a nationwide subsidy programme that would enable the registration of farmers and support their access to a wide range of agricultural inputs and extension messages through e vouchers and short message service messages Another reason for low production was the lack of access to information Agricultural data were fragmented, with counties, MoALF&C and KNBS collecting statistics but rarely agreeing on common data collection and publication protocols. -
