The heavy rains of March and May in 2024 left a trail of destruction in their wake, submerging and rendering vast tracks of agricultural heartlands inaccessible across the country, including Western, Nyanza, Coastal, Rift Valley and Central regions.

As rains wreaked havoc and thousands of farmers lost crops to flooding, it became clear that food prices would soon soar due to the widespread destruction and significant losses in the agricultural investments.
