Sorghum farmers, transporters and other players in the value chain have lost Sh258 million following the government’s introduction of tax on Senator Keg beer, think tank Tegemeo Institute says.
The Egerton University agriculture policy research institute says the Treasury’s 50 per cent excise duty on the EABL beer has resulted in low sales, resulting in the brewer buying less sorghum from farmers.
