By LEOPOLD OBIMore by this AuthorA regional fertiliser manufacturer has come up with new strategies to beat the sale of fake input ahead of the planting season. Yara East Africa said it has improved its packaging and partnered with anti-counterfeit agencies to crackdown on fake fertiliser distributors. Mr James Craske, Yara East Africa account manager, said fake fertiliser presents a huge setback to the industry as it denies farmers and manufacturers income. “We have introduced smaller packages of 50kg, 25kg and 10kg to make fertiliser affordable and accessible,” Mr Craske, who was speaking at the company’s annual event in Nairobi, said. Such costs are passed to the consumers,” Mr Wafula said.
