Diesel Shortage Hits North Rift Region

Farming activities in the North Rift region have been thrown into disarray fdue to an acute shortage of diesel. The situation has been made worse by the region’s agriculture sector being highly mechanised.

The fuel shortage has dealt a serious blow to farmers who are currently busy preparing their farms, ahead of anticipated long rains next month. The high demand for the commodity has overwhelmed the Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) depot at Eldoret, which has been unable to meet local and export demands.
