Farmers have been urged to leverage technology in agricultural practices as a means to enhance productivity, drive agribusiness and overcome the challenges posed by climate shocks.
Agriculture Cabinet Secretary (CS), Mutahi Kagwe, noted that incorporating technology in agribusiness would help overcome barriers to entry in marketing and value addition, as well as deliver efficient, transparent, and last-mile extension services at scale.
Speaking Friday, at the Agricultural Society of Kenya Trade Fair in Nakuru, where he was the Chief Guest, Kagwe emphasised the Ministry's commitment to engaging farmers in adopting new technological practices.
He stated that embracing modern-day farming methods will make Kenya food secure.
