Some farmers from Butere are worried after a company that helps them buy farm input withdrew without notice. The leaders of the 2,057 farmers said the company had already collected Sh1.5 million from than as a 10 per cent down payment for the purchase of farm input. Agrics Farm Inputs and Credit Company has been operating in Butere and other subcounties in Kakamega since 2013. We will soon demonstrate to demand the farm input,” farmer Hardco Anangwe said. Subcounty sales team leader Jane Inzoberi said the company was to help poor widows and farmers, but they have now turned against residents.
