The Ministry of Agriculture has confirmed that it will issue over one million bags of subsidized fertilizers starting next week following high demand during the rainy season.
In a statement on Saturday, March 22, the Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe said that the bags would be issued as of Monday, March 24 to National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) depots and other registered suppliers.
The CS noted that the fertilizer will be available for farmers who have registered with the Kenya Integrated Agricultural Management Information System (KIAMIS).
Kagwe confirmed that train wagons, which are being used to fast-track the delivery of the fertilizer, have already departed the Mombasa port and are expected to arrive at the Naivasha inland port on Sunday, March 22.
