The Kenya Meteorological department (KMD) has projected that Western parts of the country are projected to have enhanced performance for crop and livestock production between March to May due to the long rainy season.
However, North and Central rift regions will have marginal decline in agricultural performance leading to decreased agricultural produce which is likely to affect the income and livelihoods for the farming communities.
While announcing the forecast for the long rain season at a Garissa hotel, KMD director Dr.
David Gikungu called on the farmers to seek advice from the agricultural experts on what crops and varieties to grow for maximum yields. "For those other areas that depend on rainfall water for farming, it is advisable to wait until the onset of the rains.
