FARMKENYA INITIATIVE Smart Harvest By Kepher Otieno | April 4th 2021 at 12:00:00 GMT +0300 A rice farmer in a battered rice field in Ahero, Kisumu County. [Kepher Otieno, Standard] Elizabeth Omollo, 61, stares at her empty eight-acre rice farm in Nyando rice belt in Kisumu County with sadness. She has not had a proper rice harvest for the past five years due to a shortage of rainfall. Her main source of water is river Lie Lang'o, which supplies Chiga, Boda and Ambululu rice schemes. River Lie Lang'o, flows from the foothills of Nandi. Most farmers in the rice belt rely on the river and rainfall for their rice fields but these are now unreliable.
