Dr. Ronoh reaffirmed the government’s commitment to providing farmers with certified, high-quality, and affordable agricultural inputs, rigorously tested by the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS) and other regulatory bodies.
“Our goal is to empower farmers with the right resources to maximize yields, enhance food security, and drive rural economic growth,” the PS stated. “This initiative is a testament to the government’s dedication to transforming agriculture through strategic interventions.”
