Animal feed producers who imported yellow maize in bulk last month are staring at losses after the price of local white maize fell below that of their imported stock, leaving them struggling to find buyers without taking a price hit.

A 90 kilogramme bag of the imported yellow maize is selling at Sh5,600 against Sh5,300 that white maize is selling locally.
