Farmers in the North Rift are staring at a possible loss of their maize crop following depressed rains that are delaying application of Calcium Ammonia Nutrients (CAN) fertiliser.

Most parts of Trans-Nzoia and Uasin Gishu Counties have gone without rains for close to a month, a situation that will have a negative impact on the country’s main crop should the dry spell persists.
