A lobby representing agriculture industry players has called for higher budgetary allocations for the sector, stating that the allocations contained in the current Finance Bill fall far below the optimal level set in continental agreements that Kenya is a signatory to.
Through the Agriculture Sector Network (Asnet), experts pointed out that the figures released by the Treasury for 2024-2025 financials cut the sector allocation by 18.6 per cent to Sh79.8 billion from Sh98 billion compared to the current financial year.
