There is no fake fertiliser in the Kenyan market, only substandard, Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi now claims.

While appearing before the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Livestock, and Fisheries on Thursday, April 11, the CS explained that the fertiliser in question was substandard as macronutrients fell short of agreed requirements.
