Farmers will get subsidised fertiliser after the soil on their farms has been tested.
Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe said the government will deploy new technology to assess the chemical and physical properties of soil to identify nutrient deficiencies or imbalances.
Kagwe announced that farmers registration was going on to enable the government to account for resources distributed to them. "There is technology in soil analysis that we want to adopt.
We are registering farmers to ensure transparency in the distribution of farm inputs," he said.
