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

KIAMIS registration is a digital farmer registration and data management system used by the government for farmers to access subsidies such as fertiliser.

The registration process will kick off in Murang’a County, then rolled out across all 47 counties, including Nairobi and Mombasa and will run until September 8, 2025.

According to a press statement from Principal Secretary for Agriculture Kipronoh Ronoh, 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,” Dr Ronoh said.

During the period, Ronoh added, 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,” he noted.

To register, farmers should contact their nearest agricultural officers and they will need to have a national ID card and phone number to register on KIAMIS.

To get more information on the registration process, farmers can dial *616*3#.

During the registration process, the principal secretary said that key details will be captured, including land size, crops under cultivation, livestock numbers, as well as fish and fish pod size.

Kenya’s KIAMIS system had registered over 6.6 million farmers by July 2025, with a target of an additional 500,000 in the current August 2025 registration drive. Farmers are encouraged to participate as KIAMIS enables access to e-vouchers for inputs and improves government support for sustainable agriculture.
