The government is currently distributing approximately 7.5 million 50 kg bags of fertilizer annually.
Despite progress in increasing fertilizer use to 55 kg per hectare of nutrients, surpassing the Sub-Saharan average of 17Kg per hectare, the country is still experiencing degraded soils.
State Department of Agriculture Principal Secretary (PS) Dr.
Kipronoh Ronoh said on Tuesday that the country has witnessed stagnation in maize productivity at 15 to 18 of a 90kg bag/acre compared to a potential of 52 bags per acre.
