Motivate farmers in Kenya to ensure food security

The Rift Valley is regarded as the bread basket of the country. Indeed, most of the cereals that in the past greatly helped in maintaining our national food security came from this region and parts of Western Kenya.

Sadly, things have taken a turn for the worse. The vagaries of nature, poor yields, poor prices offered by the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB), unscrupulous middlemen and lack of support from the Government have all conspired against what was once regarded as the backbone of the economy. The country is no longer food-sufficient and relies greatly on imports.
