Livestock farmers should brace for increased cost of animal feeds following a steep rise in cost of imported Ugandan maize the manufacturers are currently using following a shortage of local grain.

Association of Kenya Feeds Manufacturers (Akefema) says the cost has shot up from Sh1,400 per 90-kilo bag two months ago to current Sh2,100 while they are hardly getting any maize from local farmers.
