Reduce the taxes levied on producers - This causes a reduction in the cost of production hence motivating producers to increase production.

Increase subsidies - The government meets part of the production cost hence making production more affordable.

Eliminating quotas on production - By not limiting the quantity of goods to be produced, the producers are free to supply as much as they can to the market.

Setting favourable producer prices - The government fixes the prices at a high level which encourages emergence of new producers/ expansion of existing ones.

Improving access to credit - The government extends loans to producers through bodies like K.I.E., IDB and ICDC to boost investment in production.

Facilitating marketing - The government may form agencies that buy produce to cushion producers and stabilize selling prices e.g. through NCPB

Availing new research ?ndings and technology to producers - New methods of production from government research bodies like KARI
