Safaricom is expected to be one of the beneficiaries of the fertiliser subsidy plan after the Ministry of Agriculture said it would use the platform of the giant telco in the rollout for the next planting season.
This will allow more than 10 million farmers to use Safarciom’s platform under the government-backed e-wallet system.
