Maize at Kenya’s strategic grain reserves will this week fall to 90kg 50,000 bags, enough to feed the country for half a day, underlining the magnitude of the food crisis in the country.

The reserve, which is expected to hold five million bags to cushion the country from food shortages, has been depleted by the recent release of 1,050,000 bags to millers to help curb the runaway flour prices.
