By JAMES KARIUKIOnline advertising site OLX is establishing farm input centres to help farmers’ access seeds and fertilisers bought through its platform. The firm has opened two centres in Nakuru and Nyandarua dubbed Kilimo Smart OLX centres and expect to open more units in agro-rich zones. “We are working with input partners Mavuno technology, Osho chemicals and Soil Cares to ensure farmers access quality inputs through our platform,” said Mr Ndiang’ui. It was expected that lorries collecting farm produce would deliver inputs like fertilisers to farmers at no extra cost. OLX has signed a deal with Mavuno Fertilisers that will see farmers buy the input at a 15 per cent discount.
