ON FARMING------------ As farmers in Western and North Rift - TopicsExpress



          

ON FARMING------------ As farmers in Western and North Rift wail over the low maize price being offered by NCPB, a bigger shock is in the offing. The price of farm inputs has increased tremendously. A bag of DAP that went for 3100 last year is now retailing at 3450 while a 10kg bag of seed has shot from 1500 to 1800. Farmers who have abandoned maize farming for sugarcane (means less food) may also be hit by the recession currently in Mumias Sugar Company. While corruption is killing the Agriculture economy that we greatly depend on, our leaders are busy fighting.
