All Kenyan maize farmers in various local and regional areas this afternoon received a confusing message from the Kenyan government, breaking their day-long silence.
The Kenyan government has ordered all Kenyan farmers to sell 90kg bags of maize at Ksh 4,200 per bag, as announced today, October 10, 2023, through the Secretary of Agriculture, Harsama Kello.
The Kenyan government has announced that it has already reached an agreement with a private company to buy 90 kilograms of maize from Kenyan maize farmers at the above mentioned price.
The new price announced by the Kenyan government for a 90kg bag of maize is crucial to protect Kenyan maize producers from undue exploitation by middlemen and brokers.
