Fertiliser prices, shortage leave farmers feeling cheatedAgriculture CS Mwangi Kiunjuri and Export Trading Group Regional Director Shem Odhiambo inspect imported fertiliser in Mombasa last year. In the meeting, the dealers said they would only supply on condition that the government assured them it would not import subsidised fertiliser. The demand by the traders was informed by the fact that should the government import subsidised fertiliser, they would suffer losses. Director of the Kenya Farmers Association (KFA) Kipkorir Menjo blamed monopoly for the mess in the industry. If the OCP fertiliser is sub-standard, we want the test results made public,” said a farmer from Nandi.
