Banana farming in Mt Kenya region has received a huge boost after Twiga Foods raised prices by about two times. Farmers have had to contend with unstable prices from middlemen who at times pay as little as Sh8 for a kilo. Twiga Foods has set the price at Sh17.

According to CEO Grant Brooke, the company will play the role of a super broker in linking the farmers with the market.
