The Kenya Agriculture and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) has urged Murang'a farmers to grow only certified seeds in order to increase food production.

Robert Musyoki, KALRO Director, said the organization had strategically scheduled its agricultural exhibition in mid-March to align with the expected onset of rains.

Musyoki noted that educating farmers on the need to grow certified seed varieties and proper planting techniques would boost food security. "Kenya faces a food deficit, and the best way to address this challenge is by ensuring farmers plant the right seeds while using the correct methods.

Our exhibition will equip farmers with the knowledge needed to enhance productivity and strengthen the country's food security," he remarked.
