Vine spinach, a traditional vegetable that is more commonly known as nderema, is the highest-earner for farmers in Kenya, a new report shows, fetching a price that is more than double that realised from the sale of other greens.
Data from the Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA) shows that farmers fetched Sh165.27 million from the sale of 2,092 tonnes of Vine Spinach in 2022, translating to an average price of Sh79 per kilogramme--the highest price of any vegetable during the period.
