However, as soil testing requires a high level of technicality, CGA has been working on a new approach: connecting farmers directly with private soil testing companies.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, a first partnership was initiated with Crop Nutrition Laboratory Services Ltd (Cropnuts), a company known in East Africa for its expertise and technology in agronomic analysis. CGA informed farmers of the importance of testing their soils and put them in contact with the company.<\/p>\n<p>This partnership quickly showed some limitations, notably related to the cost of the analysis. At about 20\u20ac, it was not affordable for smaller farms.<\/p>\n<p>A year later, CGA facilitated a new partnership, this time with Cropnuts and an input supplier, Yara Kenya. The results of the soil analysis are shared with the input provider, who can advise farmers on the most appropriate inputs. This partnership has reduced the cost of the soil test to \u20ac7 since Yara Kenya pays part of the price.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-koedz3dh-782ded1fd3a58b21e0d57eabc3e19394\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-koedz3dh-782ded1fd3a58b21e0d57eabc3e19394{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-koedz3dh-782ded1fd3a58b21e0d57eabc3e19394 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_two_third  el_before_av_three_fifth '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/p>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3v5o6ho-e0b9940d4b7f694be5f9c4035f2a72c8\">\n.flex_column.av-3v5o6ho-e0b9940d4b7f694be5f9c4035f2a72c8{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-3v5o6ho-e0b9940d4b7f694be5f9c4035f2a72c8 av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-15  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_two_fifth  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-5568o2k-f11bc7b97f97082e4093553c8049a6cb\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-5568o2k-f11bc7b97f97082e4093553c8049a6cb{\npadding-bottom:10px;\ncolor:#0064a6;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-5568o2k-f11bc7b97f97082e4093553c8049a6cb .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-5568o2k-f11bc7b97f97082e4093553c8049a6cb .special-heading-inner-border{\nborder-color:#0064a6;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-5568o2k-f11bc7b97f97082e4093553c8049a6cb .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-5568o2k-f11bc7b97f97082e4093553c8049a6cb av-special-heading-h3 custom-color-heading blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-16  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >A service based on relay farmers <\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-3b86pdo-6c60006038490c9dd5a6d3901bf3484a '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>With this new formula, this soil testing service was extended to 20 counties and 537 farmers.
