Distributing Seed to Farmers in West Kenya

Seed Distribution on 24 October:

We have as of today managed to deliver 288Kgs of sunflower seed to the three FAA co-ordinators for sale to their respective farmers as requested. Kenya Seed sold to Farmers Own at Kshs.150/kg. Progress on the sales will be monitored on phone and more seed will be delivered promptly upon request by the co-ordinators. The rain patterns have been erratic and the farmers are a bit cautious on when to plant. Certain areas like Abdi's FAA-Lugari district received rains in September and some farmers bought seeds on their own and planted. We are yet to ascertain the actual numbers and acreages from the co-ordinator. In Bungoma, there is a general concern that the seeds have come in a bit late into the season but there are still good prospects since sales began immediately the seeds arrived.
