The government has allocated KSh8.25 billion for subsidized fertilizers, demonstrating its commitment to the agricultural sector. This investment is expected to have a positive economic impact on farmers and Kenyans at large, as it will lead to increased food production and potentially lower food prices.

President Ruto has been vocal about his promise to empower farmers since taking office, and this increased budget for fertilizers is a clear demonstration of his dedication to fulfilling that promise. Additionally, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s efforts in revitalizing the coffee sector are starting to pay off, with KSh4 billion allocated for this purpose. This investment aims to enhance coffee production in the country, benefiting coffee farmers and the economy as a whole.

Furthermore, the government has also allocated funds for post-harvest management, sugar sector reforms, and significant investments in the education sector. These initiatives are aimed at stabilizing maize prices, addressing farmers’ arrears, improving sucrose levels, and improving infrastructure and education for all Kenyans.

President Ruto’s commitment to supporting agriculture and empowering farmers is evident through these strategic investments, which are expected to have a positive impact on the livelihoods of farmers and the overall economy.
