The government has received 34,400 tonnes of fertiliser in raw form as a donation from Russia to boost agriculture.

The fertiliser being discharged at the port of Mombasa will be reformulated to produce 100,200 tonnes and distributed to farmers under the Fertiliser Subsidy Programme through outlets owned by the Kenya National Trading Corporation and National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB).
