Kenya extends freeze on new cereals import tax amid protest
In a notice issued by AFA in May, the government had also slapped a two percent levy on the customs value of imports of legumes and pulses including beans, lentils, soybeans, and peanuts.
Kenya has extended a freeze on a two percent levy on imports of cereals including maize, rice, and wheat from East African Community (EAC) member states amid a fallout with traders.
Agriculture Food Authority (AFA) Director-General Bruno Linyiru said the freeze on the levy will be in place for a month to allow the regulator to address concerns raised by traders who were opposed to the tax.
