The Government is implementing a new strategy to bring down the cost of producing food, enhance farmers’ earnings and increase food security.

Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Felix Koskei said the Government is engaging development partners on mechanisation to acquire adequate farm implements and at low cost. This will in turn spur increased production and enable farmers to earn more from the labour and the country to achieve its food security goals.
