Kenya to benefit from UN campaign against hunger
Provision of fertilisers and other agricultural inputs to small farmers is intended to encourage donors, financial institutions and national governments to support the scheme on a much larger scale.
Kenya is among countries that have been selected to benefit from a $21 million UN project to shield poor households from the rising cost of food and farm inputs.
Through the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) backed deal, a number of projects are to be established in 48 countries to help farmers access agricultural inputs starting this month.
Eighteen African nations will benefit from the project.
“The immediate aim is to ensure the success of the next planting seasons and, in the longer term, demonstrate that by increasing the supply of key agricultural inputs, such as seeds and fertilizers, small farmers will be able to rapidly increase their output,” the agency said in a statement.
FAO reckons that increased production would help cushion small farmers from the adverse effects of highly priced food because they often have to buy part of their food from markets.
“Hopefully, the initiative may lead to the production of a surplus that could be sold to increase their income and improve access to food among urban populations.
Provision of fertilisers and other agricultural inputs to small farmers is intended to encourage donors, financial institutions and national governments to support the scheme on a much larger scale.
Reviving systems
The organisation said that countries most affected, especially in Africa, will in the in 2008-09 period need about $1.7 billion to start reviving agricultural systems that have been neglected for several decades.
“The unprecedented hike in food prices, which rose 52 per cent between 2007 and 2008, has had severe effect in poor countries,” FAO said.
This situation has been worsened by high prices of agricultural inputs such as fertiliser that are increasingly becoming a major obstacle to developing countries’ efforts to increase agricultural production.
Huge volumes
In Kenya the State intends to import up to two million bags of maize this year to try and mitigate the effects of violence witnessed in most production areas following the disputed 2007 elections that left huge volumes of produce destroyed.
The Government has also offered to import fertiliser in bulk through the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) and pass it on to growers at affordable rates in a bid to boost their productivity.
Its prices have risen this year with a bag going for Sh2,000, up from Sh900 last year.
