According to Star on April 20th, policy adjustments have led to an increase in prices for farmers who grow cash crops. The Kuanza Declaration in Kenya proposed a new paradigm shift from subsidizing consumption to subsidizing production. The agriculture and food security pillars of the BETA program are committed to implementing this policy, bringing tangible benefits to grassroots farmers. In the coffee industry, the government has successfully increased the average income of farmers from 50 shillings per kilogram to 130 shillings through the Coffee Cherry Fund and a series of policy measures, and achieved direct payment through M-Pesa. In fact, with the addition of new regions such as Kisumu, Tenzoya, and Waxinjishu, the coffee planting area is expanding. In the field of dairy farming, the purchase price of milk has increased from 37 shillings per liter to 50 shillings, significantly increasing the income of dairy farmers. As for the sugar industry, farmers' income increased from 4500 shillings per ton to 5300 shillings, thanks to improved support for sugar production, and some farmers received bonuses for the first time.
