It's a relief for Narok wheat farmers after the County Government and the State Department of Agriculture put a strategy in place to ensure about 200, 000 bags (90 kilogrammes) lying in the silos were sold off at a high price.
While speaking to farmers at the Olokurto area in Narok North Sub County, where he launched multiple projects, Narok Governor Patrick Ntutu said he had wide consultation with top officials at the Department of Agriculture, where they agreed that each bag will be sold at Sh 5, 200 as per the farmer's expectations. "The millers were delaying buying our wheat so that the farmers could lower the selling price.
But we have agreed that all wheat will be sold at a price of Sh 5, 200 as per a former agreement," said Ntutu. "We know the cost of producing wheat is very expensive.
Farmers use a lot of farm inputs to have a high production.
