Our investment in the Galana Kulalu Food Security Project in Kilifi and Tana River Counties is now bearing fruit. Today we begin the first major maize harvest on 330 acres, with each acre expected to yield 28 to 30 bags.
Already, 1,500 acres have been planted. By the end of this year, a further 1,700 acres will be under cultivation, bringing the total to 5,400 acres.
This progress, together with our broader agricultural reforms, is driving Kenya towards food security and enabling us to produce surplus for export.
