In addition, it also provides the agro-enterprises suitable in each zone (see appendix 1 on crop production and area in Kenya). To effectively plan, design and implement an IPM program, there is need to understand the agro-ecological zones where the project will be based. This is important since IPM relies on the ecosystem approach in its implementation. The two projects will be implemented in different agroecological zones; hence the IPM elements will also depend on the location of the projects In addition to the agro-ecologies and enterprises, IPM planning involves consideration of the inputs required in the production processes of the target enterprise. For example, what support does the project provide to the target farmers in terms of acquiring key farm inputs? Are the inputs used by farmers complementary and do they empower the farmer economically? Are there simple and cheap methods that farmers can adopt in their production systems? Some of the key inputs applied include seeds, fertilizers and pesticides (Table 2-4) Table 2: Certified seeds production and importation (2002 -2006)
