As the long rains continue to pound different parts of the country, farmers in Murang'a County have a reason to smile after receiving 48,649 bags of the government-subsidized fertiliser.
This timely initiative will go a long way in boosting crop production, thus ensuring food security and also stabilizing the overall food prices in the country.
At the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) Maragua Depot, thousands of farmers thronged the facility to collect their share of the vital commodity to be used for planting and top dressing.
Some 3312 farmers had been registered and received vouchers to redeem their fertilizer from the depot once available.
