Cheap fertiliser beckons as Toyota kicks off Sh123bn Eldoret factory

Toyota Tsusho Corporation will today start construction of a $1.2 billion (Sh123 billion) fertiliser plant in Uasin Gishu, opening a window for farmers to buy the critical input cheaply from the maiden factory next year.
The plant will be built on a two-acre piece of land that the firm has acquired in Kapsaret, 12km from Eldoret. Toyota will expand the area under the plant to five acres as the farmer who sold the initial portion is willing to sell more land to the Japanese conglomerate.
