Kenyan farmers more often than not find themselves caught between a rock and a hard place. When it is not the vagaries of nature making them toil for nothing on their farms, it is government policies and lethargy pulling them down.   

Due to repeated failed rains in the last three years, yield on Kenyan farms has been poor. This has led to a situation where the country’s food security is threatened.
