Millers have cut down on processing after the flour that had been hoarded by traders resurfaced following an end to a subsidy, making it difficult for factories to compete with the cheap product on the market.
Millers say middlemen are selling the flour to retail outlets at Sh1,800 per bale of two kilogrammes while they are trading the same at Sh2,200 based on the current price of maize, making it difficult for them to be on the same footing.
