The government has cut the supply of DAP fertiliser in a bid to stem soil acidity that has been attributed to the continuous use of this type of farm input, especially in the North Rift.
A source familiar with the matter said President William Ruto has directed the Ministry of Agriculture to cut down on DAP fertiliser on the six million bags that are being imported with a view to having farmers embrace other types.
