The Ministry of Agriculture plans to conduct soil mapping and testing exercises across the country ahead of the distribution of subsidised fertiliser to help determine the type of supplement that will be supplied in a given region.
The ministry says it will use the information gathered from the mapping exercise expected to start this month to establish key elements that are missing in a given region so that it supplies farmers with soil-specific fertiliser.
