South Korea's K-rice belt initiative is aimed at providing farmers in eight African nations, including Kenya, with quality rice varieties and sharing top-notch farming know-how.
The initiative is part of Seoul's official development assistance (ODA) and calls for supplying high-yield rice varieties and agricultural machines, helping Africa build irrigation and other necessary facilities, and sharing experiences and technologies regarding crop cultivation and distribution. The project is expected to take center stage at the planned South Korea-Africa Summit in Seoul from June 4 to 5, which Kenya's President William Ruto has confirmed attendance.

A tragic incident has occurred in Kenya where approximately 50 individuals have lost their lives due to the bursting of a dam that resulted in heavy rains and flooding. The disaster occurred in villages near Mai Mahiu, which is located about 60 km (37 miles) from the capital city of Nairobi. The incident occurred while the people were sleeping, and the floodwaters swept them away. The rescue operations are still underway, and there is a possibility that the death toll may rise further. In the last month, more than 100 people have lost their lives due to the floods that have devastated parts of Kenya.
