Maize imports from Uganda rose sharply between October and November last year compared with the same period in 2016, as high prices in Kenya following a shortage of the grain helped spur the trade.
Data from the Eastern African Grain Council (EAGC) indicates that cross-border trade between the two countries increased from 1,408 tonnes in the fourth quarter of 2016 to 47,563 tonnes estimated at Sh1.47 billion in the same period last year.
