About the partnership

This partnership, with a local fertilizer manufacturer aims to improve rice yields with a technology ‘package’ that combines efficient fertilizer technologies, new varieties, better agronomy and mechanization. The key technology is fertilizer deep placement (FDP), which substantially increases yields with one-third less fertilizer. Clusters are operational in the country’s major rice production areas in Kirinyaga (Mwea) and Kisumu (Ahero and West Kano) countries.
