Macadamia prices have more than doubled between January and now following a crackdown on unscrupulous traders and strict licensing of marketers that has restricted the market to high quality nuts.

Data from Nuts and Oil Crops Directorate indicate a kilo of the produce is now selling at between Sh160 and Sh180, up from Sh70 in January.
