    "content": "We also have some short-term measures to address the food security situation. The Government has taken the long-term sustainable approach of resolving the cost-of-living predicament by subsidising production instead of consumption. However, there are a number of immediate interventions that are aimed at short-term solutions to the high cost of living and at the same time build momentum for the long-term approach. Key to this is the fertiliser subsidy programme. During the 2022/2023 short rains season, the Government availed 3.l million bags of fertiliser worth Ksh3.5 billion to improve farmers’ uptake and agricultural yields. In the current long rains season, the Government has launched the enhanced e-voucher fertiliser subsidy programme, through which it has availed 6 million 50Kg bags of subsidized fertiliser worth Ksh15 billion, retailing at a cost of Ksh3,500 per bag, down from the market price of Ksh6,500 per bag. This represents a subsidy of Ksh3,000 per bag for fertiliser."
