Agriculture CS Hon Peter Munya this morning flagged off 65,000 tonnes of tea fertilizer from Mombasa to Nairobi through the SGR.
Munya said that using the SGR to transport the fertilizer is cost effective and fast ensuring within three weeks all the fertilizer will be in warehouses in Nairobi. From there it will be distributed to tea farmers in their respective factories. The government will also subsidize the fertilizer affordable to farmers.
