The OCP School Lab program conducted by OCP AFRICA has been running since February 12th
several regions of Kenya. This mobile floor laboratory moves to meet the
Kenyan farmers and offer them support for soil analysis as well as fertilizer application recommendations. The first season of 2018 in Kenya targeted 9 regions: Nyeri, Meru, Embu, Kirinyaga, Nakuru, Murang’a, Narok, Nyandarua and Laikipia.
The aim is to support and train about 7,500 farmers in the use of
adapted fertilizer and the adoption of reasoned fertilization techniques.
This two-month campaign is being conducted in partnership with Kenya’s Ministry of Homeland Security and Local Government, Kenya Regional Authorities, and local agricultural outreach agencies.
Namely, 8,000 farmers have already participated in this program in 2017, bringing the impact to 15,000 farmers benefiting from OCP School Lab caravans.
