Especially now that the new Eldoret Fertiliser factory is to be opened soon, one that is supposed to bring the cost of fertilizer and maize production down. I was shocked to read yesterday that the Ksh 103B factory will not be manufacturing fertilizer but rather will be a fertilizer blending plant. Meaning that we will be still be importing pure N or P fertilizers and blending them at the plant to make the final product. This is contrary to what we have always been told, that we will no longer have to import fertilizers and will be saving billions in forex. Someone from the ministry was also saying that the factory will not lead to cheaper fertilizer "because the raw materials will have to be imported". I have seen this value quoted by media. Is it actually Kes 103B?. I don't buy that cost. I have not seen it but would expect it to be Kes. 1.03B. And the factory stands on 2acres of land, smaller than my simba shags.

sasa watu wanataka? Drop your prices - kama mahindi inapandwa, inavunwa, inapanda meli, inafika kenya, kila mtu ana kula hapo katikati na inashinda yako ile imetoka hapa kitale - shida iko kwako. Hata mkizuia "cheap maize" - kenyans will still be eating expensive maize unless there is a strategy. All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

I have never seen yellow cob planted and sold in Kenya. If they do, its basically for animal feed. If Americans in Kenya want yellow cob, nakumatt is providing it for them, any Kenyan should be asking how they can grow and sell at the same price.

I agree with @Alph, that map is not clear. What's that scale? What are those measurements? 1 what? 6-10 what? i.am.back!!!!

I agree with @Alph, that map is not clear. What's that scale? What are those measurements? 1 what? 6-10 what? The map is very clear. The scale 1-10 is a ranking of countries depending on their citizens daily intake of maize. Those in the red states derive most of their daily calories from maize, thus ranked as no 1.
