Hiccups in distribution of fertiliser across the country threatens President William Ruto's goal of achieving food security which featured prominently in his Kenya Kwanza manifesto and a major pledge during his campaigns.
While the Ministry of Agriculture has urged farmers to collect fertiliser from the respective depots, there have been challenges, leading to delays.
State Department for Agriculture Principal Secretary Paul Ronoh explained that the fertiliser is being distributed according to the planting seasons in the respective food basket regions.
Parts of North Rift and Western, which is a major food basket for grains such as maize, are now a priority.
