Agriculture is a vital sector in the Kenyan economy. A thriving agriculture sector
is also vital to ensure Kenya’s food security. The USP government will transform
the agriculture, livestock and fisheries sectors to ensure food for all. We believe, this will guarantee farmers, livestock-keepers and fisher-folk of decent incomes. It will enhance equity and provide productive employment while the country industrialises, develops the service sector and broaden job opportunities.
We commit to :
- Fund research and development, in partnership with higher education institutions, to drive innovation in the agriculture sector that can boost job- creating economic growth.
- Compiling a detailed resilience plan to respond to the most urgent impacts of climate change with a view to minimise the shocks and stressors experienced by the agricultural sector and rural communities.
- Investing in water infrastructure, including large dams and bulk water reticulation, in line with our climate change resilience plan, to ensure that those communities suffering from protracted drought have the resources they need to continue agricultural production.
- Subsidise farm inputs to ensure increased yield.
- Enhance free extension services in different sectors.
- Partner with different spheres of government to make technology available to farmers which can boost agricultural output and business efficiency.
