Farmers in Homa Bay County have a reason to smile after an organization began partnering with the county government in soil testing to boost the yield of their produce.

A USAID funded organisation, Feed The Future Kenya Crops and Dairy Market System (KCDMS) in partnership with Homa Bay County government has begun the initiative of testing soil to enhance crop production in the county.
