President Ruto: Fertilizer prices to go down

2nd August, 2023

President William Ruto has announced a significant reduction in fertilizer prices from the current Sh3500 to Sh2500 per 50kg bag.

The reduction, effective from Tuesday, August 1, is aimed at increasing farmers' yields and promoting agricultural productivity.

During a press briefing at State House Nairobi on Wednesday, August 2, Ruto stressed that the price cut is a crucial step in supporting the country's agricultural sector.
"At this price, we expect significantly higher uptake of fertilizer. Now that we have reduced the cost, farmers have no reason why they should not double their fertilizer usage from one bag to two bags, which will immediately double our production,” said Ruto.

In addition to announcing the price reduction, the Head of State also used the occasion to launch the second phase of the countrywide digital farmer registration exercise.
