Rice production in a multimillion irrigation project in Homa Bay County has got a boost after farmers acquired tractors for ploughing their farms.
The farmers using Kimira Oluch Smallholder Farm Improvement Project (KOSFIP), located in Karachuonyo and Rangwe constituencies have received the tractors from Lake Basin Development Authority (LBDA).
The two tractors are aimed at helping the farmers to plough their farms on a large scale.
Distribution of the tractors came after the farmers complained that they had been restricted to small scale crop production due to lack of mechanization of their farms.
