Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is hopeful the country will be food sufficient in the next two months.
Speaking during a tour of his farm to inspect the maize plantation, Gachagua said he was happy the crop was doing well, thanks to the rains.
"We look forward to enhanced food security for our nation in two months or so. We are grateful for the rains and our hard-working farmers," he said.
The maize plantation in the region, he said is "a sight to behold" an indication farmers are set to have a bumper harvest.
Farmers are expected to begin harvesting maize in October.
The government started distributing the subsidised fertilisers to farmers across the country in March in preparation for the planting.
President William Ruto abolished subsidies on consumables saying the only way to reduce the high cost was to ensure farm inputs are available are affordable prices.
"We are all happy that the cost of fertilizer this year is half the cost of last year and I am asking all of us to double our efforts," Ruto said in April in Uasin Gishu.
