President William Ruto's flagship fertiliser subsidy program has seen a significant drop in farmer participation, with 426,000 fewer farmers accessing the scheme in the year ending June.

• A decline of 30.9 per cent in farmer access to subsidised fertiliser compared to the previous year.
• The National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) oversees the subsidy scheme.
• This setback occurs as the government plans to lower the price of a 50kg bag to Sh2,000 from Sh2,500 in September.
