Machakos Governor Wavinya Ndeti has launched a Certified Seed Distribution Programme targeting over 20,000 farmers across the county with 40 tonnes of certified seeds to boost food security and agricultural productivity.
The initiative supports Governor Ndeti’s Chakula Mezani, Pesa Mfukoni agenda, which seeks to increase food production, improve household incomes and empower farmers economically. The governor celebrated Machakos County’s recent ranking sixth nationally in maize production, attributing the achievement to continued investment in agriculture and farmers’ dedication.
Governor Ndeti revealed that her administration has so far distributed 408,090 kilograms of certified seeds, 75,050 cassava and sweet potato cuttings, and 28,000 avocado seedlings to vulnerable farmers across the county.
With the ongoing rains providing favourable planting conditions, the governor urged farmers to plant on time and embrace good agricultural practices to maximise yields, reaffirming her administration’s commitment to building a food secure and economically empowered Machakos.
