In Kenya, there has been an over-reliance on maize production and this cannot feed the increasing population hence a need to shift to wheat to enhance food security. Wheat farming is faced with the problem of climate change, drought, fertilizer application, pests and diseases, and low prices....
CIMMYT has already established a nursery in Kenya to screen for wheat stem rust which is one of the most common disease affecting the cereal. Mugo said that wheat cultivation was introduced in Kenya as a large scale crop, hence the low uptake of wheat production among small scale farmers in ...
The scientist noted that the wheat varieties that have been released in the eastern and southern African regions in 2005-2016 have showed high resistance to U99 race. He added that the increase in wheat production in Kenya that rose from 350,000 metric tons to 500,000 metric tons this year...
Ethiopiaplans to increase its local wheat output by up to 70% in 2022 as the country cushions itself from supply chain constraints due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. Data from the Ethiopia Agriculture Ministry estimates that the country will harvest some 2.4 million tonnes compared to 1.4...

The primary objective of this study is to examine the effect of farm size on economic efficiency among wheat producers and to suggest ways to improve wheat production in the country. Specifically, the study attempts to estimate the levels of technical, allocative, and economic efficiencies among ...
