The technical innovation in agriculture inputs, in particular with regard to seed related- innovations has resulted in enhanced crop yields in several parts of the developing world. In Kenya maize is a major staple food crop for over 80 % of the population. The Kenyan maize story has been often quoted as one of the success cases in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The major reasons have been partly due to the focused investments in R&D of developing new varieties – exploiting hybrid vigor in maize to attain higher yields, and enabling agricultural policies encouraging the use of agri-inputs in general. The adoption of improved varieties in Kenya also have increased over years and the recent studies indicate nearly 72 % of the maize area is under i...
