• 26 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, currently, we are contracting farmers from all over the country, so that they can do seed multiplication. I can make reference to some areas where we have paid a lot of one. I remember that in one location last year we paid over Kshs20 million. The Government is doing all this to reduce the amount of seed being imported into this country. So, the Government is taking action in that regard. view
• 7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Farmers in the North Rift who supplied maize to the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) have been paid. (b) In view of the answer to part “a” of the Question, part “b” does not arise. view
• 7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: (c) The reduction in the price of maize by the NCPB from Kshs2,300 to Kshs1,500 was informed by the prevailing market forces. The Government has put in place the following measures to cushion farmers against making losses:- (i) establishment of warehouse receipt system to enable farmers to store their grain in the NCPB silos, so that they can sell it at a time when prices are good; (ii) reduction of cost of production by providing low cost mechanization of farm operations through our mechanized services; and; (iii) provision of cost-effective subsidized fertilizers. view
• 7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the NCPB has come up with another way of receiving maize from farmers. That is the warehouse receipt system. If you want to sell your maize, you can take it to the NCPB, and you will be paid. If you want to keep the maize there and sell it at a later date, when the price will be good, that is also acceptable. There will not be any cost for keeping the maize there. So, those who will deliver maize will be paid. view
