    "content": "productivity, while maintaining and enhancing natural resources based on the products from different counties. Different regions have different products, natural resources and output of cash crops. For example, tea is a cash crop that does well in the Rift Valley region. The service will also develop new users and products on agricultural commodities. Remember, the focus of the Bill is to improve ways of adding value to agricultural products, so that even the market becomes wide. In performing its function, the service will also encourage the use of Information, Communication and Technology (ICT). There will be a database for all the farmers in the region with all the information regarding the type of crops they will be farming, the fertilizer they need and all the guidance needed. Technology will ensure continuous communication, unlike earlier on when we used to have extension service officers. We are at an advanced digital level and the Ministry of Information, Communications and the Digital Economy is working on digital hubs. Farmers will be trained and there will be a data base because information will be remitted on time. The world is rapidly moving to information technology. Through this Bill, the agricultural sector is expected to take advantage and develop to fill the void of traditional or old school extension strategies. ICT has the potential to respond to a number of challenges that confront the extension services sector. Further, the service is tasked with developing and coordinating inter-governmental relation mechanisms by ensuring they deliver services related to the extension services."
