A ship carrying consignments of white maize, sorghum and wheat docked at the Mombasa port on Wednesday as importers started shipping in the produce to ease a shortage of the cereals and avert a food crisis.

A manifest from the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) indicates that the Stellina ship docked at the port on Wednesday with 21,455 metric tonnes of white maize from Mozambique.
