Summary
Maize deliveries to National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) have doubled in the last two weeks as farmers increase their supplies after the agency raised the buying price by Sh200 last month.
NCPB Managing Director Joseph Kimote said the board has so far received 200,000 bags of 90 kilo bags of grain, up from 100,000 a fortnight ago.
NCPB is paying farmers Sh2,700 for a 90 kilo bag after reviewing the price from Sh2,500 in order to woo growers to supply them with grain.
