The far-reaching reforms we have undertaken in the agriculture sector are beginning to deliver real benefits to farmers.
By lowering the cost of inputs, including fertiliser and seeds, registering farmers digitally and dismantling strangling cartels, we are ensuring that farmers earn more from their hard work.
Coffee farmers are now earning up to KSh150 a kilo, up from an average of KSh70 previously. Sugar growers are being paid seven days after delivery of cane and will receive bonuses like farmers in other sectors.
In the tea sector, we will invest KSh4.2 billion in modernising factories to ensure every farmer receives a fair and equitable bonus.
