Rapid Result Initiative Farmer Registration on KIAMIS

The Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development will embark on a two-week registration exercise to onboard an additional 500,000 farmers from across the country onto the Kenya Integrated Agriculture Management Information System (KIAMIS).

The registration process will kick off on Monday, 25th August in Murang’a County and will be rolled out across all 47 counties, including Nairobi and Mombasa. The initiative will run till the 8th of September 2025.  Registration will ease access to government subsidies for farmers, including access to fertilizer. 

The registration will be carried out by Agricultural Officers at the county level. To ease the registration process, the government will work with County governments to deploy additional personnel to carry out the registration. 

During the period, the Government will also register all coffee farmers to comply with the requirements of the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). The EUDR is a climate change mitigation regulation that seeks to stop deforestation by blocking the sale of coffee produced in deforested areas in all EU member countries. Registration of coffee farmers will require physical verification and geo-mapping of farm GPS coordinates to give traceability and reassure the EU of the origin of Kenyan coffee. The government has guaranteed support to all coffee farmers seeking to export their coffee to the EU.
