Addressing farmers at the facility, Deputy Governor Kones reaffirmed the county’s commitment to ensuring timely access to farm inputs. He emphasized that the strategic placement of satellite stores across Nakuru County is aimed at easing logistical challenges and bringing affordable fertilizer closer to the farmers.
“This initiative ensures that our farmers can access fertilizer without traveling long distances or incurring extra costs. We are committed to supporting agricultural growth by making essential inputs readily available,” stated Kones.
The Deputy Governor also highlighted the county’s collaboration with the National Government’s State Department of Agriculture, assuring farmers that the program would continue to bridge the gap in input accessibility.
