This is part of ongoing County Government support for farmers in the Kerio Valley belt to harness the region’s agricultural potential.
The Nyota bean variety is high-yielding, drought-tolerant, and a fast-maturing biofortified bean variety that matures between 60-70 days. It has a potential yield of about 10 bags per acre.
These characteristics are also exhibited by the dryland DH04 maize seeds, which are also tolerant.
H.E Governor Wisley Rotich who led the distribution exercise in Chepsirei and Emsea said the support will lead to enhanced food security and increased household earnings.
“I urge all beneficiaries to ensure that they plant the seeds and seek advice from our respective Ward Agricultural Officers for the best farm practices in order to achieve an optimum harvest,” he said today.
Present included Soy North MCA Simon Chepseba, CECs Edwin Kibor(Agriculture) , Alphaeous Tanui ( Finance), Michael Kibiwott( Sports) and Edwin Seronei (PSM), Chief of staff Nathan Tanui, Chief Officers Robert Lagat and Edwin Komen among other officials.
