Farmers have lauded the elimination of private tenders in fertiliser importation.
The new rules outlined by the Ministry of Agriculture lock out the brokers, who have in the past been blamed for high cost of the farm input.

Farmers have lauded the elimination of private tenders in fertiliser importation.
The new rules outlined by the Ministry of Agriculture lock out the brokers, who have in the past been blamed for high cost of the farm input.
The regulations published last week came after a deal struck by President Kenyatta when he toured Russia, the world’s biggest producer of fertiliser, in August.
CHEAPER PRICES
Farmers on Monday welcomed the move, saying it would reduce the cost of farming and boost food production.
Kenya Farmers Association Director Kipkorir arap Menjo said within the three years the deal covers, Kenya would have set up its own fertiliser manufacturing company. “It means we will acquire fertiliser at cheaper prices because these cartels and middlemen have led to high final prices,” said Menjo.
Cereal Millers Association chairman Diamond Lalji said the deal would see farmers increase acreage under crops.
