At least two in every three farmers in Kenya had purchased the government’s subsidised fertiliser as of March in preparation for the long rains planting season, a new survey released by the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) shows.
The report, which comes to light amid a State-led investigation into claims of circulation of fake fertiliser during the current planting season, indicates that access has more than doubled since March last year when it stood at 29 percent to 67 percent last month.
