Kenya’s maize imports in the first nine months of 2022 more than doubled to 519,611.30 tonnes, equivalent to 5.7 million 90-kilogram bags, following a drop in the production of the cereal due to drought.
In a similar period a year earlier, the country imported 214,100.9 tonnes of maize or 2,378,899 bags, figures from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) show.
