Kenya plans a new food reserve to cover three months of the nation’s maize consumption expected to cost Sh79.6 billion annually.

This is after Agriculture Cabinet secretary Mithika Linturi unveiled regulations for a new National Strategic Reserve that will require it to have a minimum of 90,000 tonnes worth of food, or the financial equivalent of at least three months of maize consumption.
