6.15 million farmers on a national digital register

A national digital farmer register ended the cartel capture of agricultural subsidies by tying every input to a verified national ID and a registered farm.

6.15M
farmers registered

Every previous subsidy programme in Kenya was captured — fertiliser meant for farmers appeared in shops across the border within weeks.

The national farmer registration platform now holds 6.15 million verified farmers. Subsidised inputs are redeemed against a national ID, a registered plot and a mobile number. A record exists of who collected what, where, and when.

The register is also the delivery rail for extension services, weather advisories, crop insurance and the school feeding programme's local procurement — one identity system serving the whole agricultural economy.
