The Anti-Counterfeit Authority (ACA) on Friday, March 21, seized 233 bags of fake fertiliser worth Ksh2.1 million in a crackdown.
The operation, which took place in Molo, Nakuru, saw ACA officials confiscate the counterfeit fertiliser and apprehend the masterminds behind the scheme.
The fake product was intended for sale to farmers in the northern parts of Rift Valley.
While taking possession of the counterfeit farm inputs, ACA warned farmers against falling prey to rogue distributors, citing the significant harm such products could cause to their crops. "We managed to seize 233 bags worth Ksh2.1 million of fake fertiliser and arrested two suspects who are currently facing prosecution under the Anti-Counterfeit Act," stated Robi Mbugua, an officer at ACA.
