The ACA is increasing efforts to combat counterfeit fertilizers in Kenya, particularly in North Rift counties. Recent operations have led to arrests and confiscated products valued at millions. ACA officials emphasize the negative impact of counterfeit products on food security and encourage vigilance among farmers and agro-dealers.
The Anti-Counterfeit Authority (ACA) has intensified surveillance efforts to protect Kenyan farmers and ensure food security by targeting counterfeit agricultural inputs. In collaboration with the National Police Service and other enforcement agencies, ACA is actively combating the rise of fake farm inputs, particularly in North Rift regions like Uasin Gishu and Nakuru.
The ACA’s proactive measures against counterfeit fertilizers are critical in safeguarding Kenya’s agricultural sector and food security. Continuous operations and heightened market surveillance will play a key role in preventing the spread of counterfeit agricultural inputs. Farmers are urged to remain vigilant and purchase products only from certified suppliers.
