Deputy President William Ruto presided over the ground-breaking ceremony of a Sh123 billion fertiliser plant in Uasin Gishu, the first such plant in Kenya.
The plant, to be built on a two-acre piece of land and constructed by Toyota Tsusho Corporation, is expected to produce 150,000 metric tonnes of fertiliser on completion, with prices of the commodity expected to significantly decrease. Yesterday, Ruto assured farmers that the Government was committed to lowering the cost of agricultural production.
