Small-scale farmers have received a major boost following the move by the Ministry of Agriculture to increase the number of bags that a grower can purchase under the subsidy programme to 20.

Agriculture Cabinet secretary Peter Munya announced on Monday that the numbers have been revised from 10 bags of 50-kilogramme that the ministry had announced on Friday, coming as a major boost to food production.
