Farmers can now access a bio-control product that helps in suppressing cancer-causing aflatoxin in crops from the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) depots as the government moves to curb the menace caused by this toxic substance.

NCPB has entered into partnership with Koppert Biological Systems, Kenya Agricultural Livestock Research Organisation (Kalro) and Arysta Lifescience to promote the use of the product known as Aflasafe in order to cut levels of aflatoxin in crops.
