Farmers reaping gains from the government’s transformation agenda

The government is implementing Guaranteed Minimum Returns (GMR) so that farmers get predictable incomes.

Consequently, the country's agricultural sector is experiencing a resurgence with gains in farmer incomes, economic growth and food security under the Kenya-Kwanza administration's Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA).

Government spokesperson Dr.

Isaac Mwaura, speaking at a media briefing held at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), Nairobi said the GMR programme has significantly stabilized farmers' earnings and reduced the vulnerability to market volatility. "GMR is a true realization of the campaign slogan of 'pesa mfukoni' as a result of prioritizing production subsidies over consumption," stated Mwaura.
