The Ministry of Agriculture will expand inputs supplies to farmers under the e-voucher programme to 25 more counties from the current 12, which saw the government provide 40 percent of the total cost of seed and fertiliser to growers.

The government started the e-voucher programme last year in 12 counties and farmers have so far redeemed receipts worth Sh654 million in the last main crop with over 17,000 growers benefitting from government-backed subsidy programme.
