The State has reneged on its promise to extend a six-month window for the export of raw macadamia nuts, only limiting the period to 30 days in a development that deals a blow to farmers stuck with piles of the hard-shelled product.
In a notice issued by Agriculture and Livestock Cabinet Secretary Andrew Karanja, the government said exporters who would wish to export raw nuts subsequent to this window will be required to formally apply in writing to the Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA).
