Traders and millers cut importation of maize by nearly two-thirds in the nine months ended September 2024 on increased domestic production of the staple helped by subsidised inputs and favourable weather conditions.
Data collated by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) showed traders shipped 160,184 metric tonnes of maize, an equivalent of about 1.78 million 90-kilogramme bags, in the review period.
