Maize Farmers in Trans Nzoia Fear Losses Due to Rain and Imports - September 2026

Maize farmers in Trans Nzoia are expressing deep concern over potential losses due to heavy rainfall and the government's decision to import maize. Government reforms implemented by the Kenya Kwanza administration are reportedly boosting farmers' earnings in key agricultural sectors through initiatives like subsidised fertiliser and faster payments, but challenges persist. Seed traders in Kenya are urgently calling for more robust measures to combat the proliferation of counterfeit seeds in the market, warning of severe consequences for farmers and the agricultural sector.
