Coffee farmers sort out berries. [File, Standard]
More than 37,000 coffee farmers in Murang'a County have received free agricultural lime under a county government programme aimed at restoring soil health, increasing yields and improving farmers' earnings.
The county distributed 495,850 kilograms of lime to farmers, targeting nearly two million coffee trees, an initiative aimed at reducing soil acidity and improving soil fertility.
Governor Irungu Kang'ata said the programme could significantly raise coffee production and inject an estimated Sh476 million in additional annual income into the local coffee sector.
