40% of food wastage in Kenya is caused by post harvest losses. CS Mithika Linturi held a consultative meeting with H.E Governor Dr. Moses Badilisha Kiarie of Nyandarua County.
The two levels of government are working together in operationalizing the cold storage facilities that MSEA constructed in the county.
To reduce milk loss, 35 coolers will be delivered to the county as per the President’s directive.
They explored additional ways to partner with the county in establishing an agro-processing horticultural plant in Kinangop.
Further, they discussed the progress of subsidized fertilizer distribution in Nyandarua. The CS mentioned that supplies have been dispatched to Nyahururu, Ol Kalou and Kipipiri.
He urged NCPB to expedite the process and encouraged farmers to take advantage of this opportunity.
