Kenya Tea Development Agency (KTDA) has now temporarily suspended importation of fertilizer on behalf of its farmers due to the disruption brought about by Covid-19.

In a statement earlier today, the firm says it usually imports fertilizer on behalf of its over 600,000 tea farmers for application during the short rains in October/November of every year.
