Maize flour price drops by biggest margin in years

The price of flour has dropped by a big margin for the first time in nearly two years, responding to lower cost of maize in the market coupled with weak demand.

Two kilogramme packets of major flour brands in retail chains have gone down to Sh103 for Soko, Sh110 for Jogoo and Sh108 for Pembe. These brands had been retailing above Sh115 last month.
