The government has increased the number of counties under the agriculture subsidy programme to 17 as President William Ruto plans to announce new prices for maize seeds.
Principal Secretary in the Department of Crop Development, Kello Harsana, said farmers in Kisii, Homa Bay, Laikipia, Baringo and Nyamira will access the subsidised fertilisers and maize seeds in the government's efforts to enhance food production.
