This is because you will find the fertiliser that is relevant and appropriate for tea is not necessary the same that is appropriate for maize or rice and viceversa . Therefore, this Board should be backed up by a very good technical team. Research is critical. Good fertiliser for the Arid and Semi Arid Areas (ASAL) of eastern and north eastern parts of the country may not be necessarily be the same fertiliser that is necessary for high rain areas of Uasin Gishu, Meru, Trans Nzoia and other counties. Again, you will find that what fertiliser brings in, there is little differentiation in terms of the needs of particular areas. If you look and read agricultural literature – the Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture can bear me out – in the 1960s up to 1970s an acre of land was producing up to 45 bags of maize. The seeds were good, the fertiliser was relevant and potent, but now you will be lucky to get ten bags of maize on an acre. Hand in hand with fertiliser is the question of quality seeds for maize farmers. You will be horrified to hear that at planting season, there are crooked traders who will get maize from maize granaries, mix it with Blue Omo, make it look like it is treated seed and sell it to unsuspecting farmers."
