While many regions in the country suffer food insecurity attributed to erratic weather patterns, farmers in Nakuru are struggling to find market for their produce.

This year, farmers had a bumper harvest of various crops, including peas, potatoes, vegetables, wheat and beans. Some of the produce is currently rotting in farms as they have not been harvested because of lack of market.
