Farmers in Eldoret under the North Rift Farmers Union have signed an MOU with a private firm to supply DAP fertilizer at Sh3,000 per 50kg bag. Exports Trading Group Inputs Kenya Ltd (ETG) will also buy maize from the farmers at a Sh1,900 per 90kg bag. The government said it won't import subsidised fertilizer this year because of procurement hurdles and graft. Buzeki said there was still time for the government to organize itself and provide farmers with subsidised fertilizer. Buzeki said ETG will buy as much maize as possible from farmers to enable them buy fertilizer for the planting season.
