150, 000 Households to
Benefit from Seeds Program
Close to 150,000 Makueni households will benefit from 174 Metric Tons of certified seeds, an initiative of the Makueni County government.
The program is targeting vulnerable families to ensure that they have access to certified seeds for planting as the March-April-May rain intensifies.
According to the weather man, farmers are to plant drought tolerant crops which take the shortest time possible to mature, as the rains are predicted to last a month.
As such, 18 Wards in the lowland Sub-Counties will receive sorghum and green grams crop model while 12 Wards in the hill mass will receive maize and beans varieties.
The seeds distribution exercise to different wards across the county was officially launched by Devolution Executive Japheth Mang’oka, flanked by Agriculture and Devolution Chief Officers Daniel Ndolo and Irene Makau respectively, and Kiima Kiu/Kalanzoni Ward MCA Justus Muema on Wednesday at Kima Technical Training Institute.
