The National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) is set to stop rationing distribution of subsidised fertiliser to farmers.
NCPB imposed the rationing measure due to a shortage of fertiliser that it was witnessing.
Following the arrival of additional 2 million bags of the farm input, farmers will now be able to access all the quantities of fertiliser they need.
Soy Member of Parliament David Kiplagat announced that the rationing will be lifted starting Tuesday, April 7, 2026.
He made the announcement when he witnessed arrival of a consignment of the fertiliser at the NCPB Moi’s Bridge depot on Monday, April 6, 2026.
“Today, together with Ms. Fridah Rotich, Manager of Moi’s Bridge NCPB, we oversaw the receipt of government-subsidized fertilizer at the Moi’s Bridge Cereals Depot,” Kiplagat said.
“I am pleased to inform our farmers that this consignment includes OCP fertilizer, offering greater choice and suitability for different soil needs. Additionally, by Tuesday, the current rationing measures will be lifted, and certified seeds will also be made available to further enhance productivity during this planting season,” he added.
The MP also affirmed the national government’s committment to ensuring timely access to essential farm inputs and addressing the needs of our farmers.
Kiplagat also noted that with agriculture being the backbone of the country’s economy, he will not tire in advocating for practical solutions that strengthen food security and support farming communities.
Last week, another consignment of subsidised fertiliser and seeds was delivered at the NCPB Eldoret depot.
Farmers across the North Rift region, the country’s food basket are currently in the planting season for maize.
