Farmers in Kinangop, Nyandarua county, are worried over a looming shortage of fresh produce due to the ongoing rains that have destroyed their farms. The rains have cut off major roads, further worsening the current situation. Kinangop North assistant county commissioner Marcarius Minyori said nearly all the farms have been affected by the heavy rains. “The most affected crop is potato and there are fears of a major shortage in the coming days as farmers will not harvest anything,” Minyori said. He said major roads in the constituency had been affected by the rains, adversely affecting transport and access to the farms and market.
