The National Potato Council of Kenya (NPCK) has been working with small scale farmers through a digital platform to facilitate access to critical services needed to spur production and better returns.
NPCK through the Viazi Soko digital platform, has offered potato farmers from Naivasha, Nakuru and Nyandarua Counties a forum through which they can access quality seed, farm inputs and fair markets for their produce by click on their mobile phones.
The Council has embarked on an intensive training of the farmers on how to operate and access the services under the digital agriculture platform to increase their production and get ready market for their surplus produce.
With the new concept, gone will be the days when farmers struggle to know the demand and supply curve that dictated the market prices in real time to make informed choices on where to sell to reap reasonable profit margins.
