A section of farmers across the country have raised an alarm over alleged discrepancies in the distribution of government's subsidized fertilizers as thousands scramble to get the vital farm input for the planting season.

This comes as the government implements rationing of fertilizers amid biting shortage in some parts of the country.

Yesterday, a number of farmers told The Standard that they were yet to receive fertilizers while others claimed they had received less than the amount they had applied for.

For instance, Moses Chelelgo, a farmer from Kwanza Sub-County, explained that he had applied for 50 bags of planting fertilizer but was only able to collect 25 bags.
