    Notes
    The World Bank is funding a project in Kenya to distribute fertilizer in two kilogram bags in the hope that this will boost fertilizer use on smallholder farms. This pilot project is being conducted in the province of Kisii (near Lake Victoria) where farmers have been using on average only one kilogram of fertilizer per hectare per year. Each farmer gets a free TWOkilo ban to try out on his own field. Many farmers think their soil is 'different' and will not respond to fertilizers. The Bank hopes that they will change their minds when they see the results from using the 'free sample'. The project provides the farmers with a booklet and advice on the radio, both in their own language. Larger (10-kilo) bags of fertilizer are available at nearby sale points.
