The Treasury has waived import duty on seven raw materials used to manufacture animal and chicken feeds in a bid to ease the pain on farmers grappling with high costs.

The one-year waiver applies to imports of yellow maize, soya bean meal, cottonseed cake, white sorghum, fish meal and sunflower seed cake sourced from the East African region from the start of last month to October 31 next year.
