Kenyan maize imports account for 58 percent of the grain traded among East African countries between July and September, as poor weather affected the country’s production.

Latest data from the Ministry of Agriculture shows that the country imported 155,610 metric tonnes of the grain in the period, followed by South Sudan at 114,660 metric tonnes.
