Wheat farmers in Narok County are crying foul following a lack of market to sell their produce despite a bumper harvest occasioned by the favorable weather condition last year.

Led by their chairman Stanley Koonyo, the farmers said over 10 million bags (90 kilograms) were in stores since the harvesting season began in August 2024, and no miller has shown any interest in purchasing the produce.

Koonyo decried that despite the farmers' efforts to purchase farm inputs like fertiliser and chemicals to ensure a good harvest and improve food security for the country, their efforts were in vain as their produce remains unsold.

He observed that the wheat produced in Narok county is only five per cent of the wheat consumed in the country, wondering what would happen if they increased the production to 10 per cent as per their ambitions. "The government has been urging us to increase production and that is why     we purchased the fertiliser at a subsidised price.
