Speaking during the meeting, the Deputy Governor reaffirmed the county\u2019s commitment to agricultural transformation, stating, \u201cThis review allows us to ensure that what we started is taking root\u2014not just in the fields, but in our households. The next phase will build on these lessons to reach more farmers and enhance productivity.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n The session brought together key stakeholders, including Chief Officer for Agriculture Mr. Elphas Kesio, sub-county and ward agricultural officers, and representatives from the county administration. The focus was on evaluating farmer feedback and improving coordination for future distributions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mr. Kesio noted that the initiative has successfully connected farmers with expert knowledge through targeted training sessions. He also clarified that, due to logistical constraints, farmers will collect their seedlings the day after the official launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The initiative aligns with Nguzo number one on Agriculture and Food Security which aims to boost farmer incomes through crop diversification and value addition.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Also in attendance were Directors Kenneth Kili (Agriculture), Emmanuel Kipchumba (Communication), Silah Kosgei (Governor\u2019s Press), and Charles Kapkiai (Governor\u2019s Delivery Unit), who all reaffirmed their commitment to supporting the smooth implementation of the program\u2019s next phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Uasin Gishu Deputy Governor, H.E.
