Russia is Key Partner in Kenya’s Food Security Push: Kenyan Media Representative
"Food security is among our key pillars as a country, and the provision of fertilizer to farmers in the Republic of Kenya [...] is a big step that has aided food production in Kenya," John Jacob told Sputnik Africa.
Russian fertilizer export, alongside Kenyan government subsidies, has contributed to improved agricultural yields despite weather-related challenges, he noted.
Kenya can expand its agricultural exports to Russia, including flowers, tea and coffee, and new market access would directly benefit local farmers, Jacob stated.
Kenya is encouraging young people to pursue agriculture and agribusiness, including through training and university-level studies, to create new opportunities for the country’s youth, he added.
