Online classifieds firm OLX has set up centres to help farmers easily access farm inputs and increase yields for their produce across various regions. Dubbed kilimo smart OLX centres, will see farmers who have placed orders of various inputs through OLX collect them from these centres. They will also enable farmers get other services such as liming and soil testing.

The first two centres have been rolled out in Nakuru and Nyandarua. Plans are underway to roll out more centres across other regions. Farmers who had a challenge accessing fertilisers can now use the platform to order farm inputs and have them collected at the Kilimo smart centres.
