State agencies will sell planting fertiliser to farmers at Sh3,100 for a 50 kilogramme bag coming as a relief to growers who have been paying Sh3,500 for the same quantity in agrovets.

The Ministry of Agriculture said it has negotiated with National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) and the Kenya National Trading Corporation for the DAP fertiliser.
