A number of horticulture firms have left Narok County after the regional government imposed a Sh100 duty on a crate of French beans that is produced there.

The county introduced the levy through its financial bill recently, pushing up the unit cost of producing the crop in Narok. Huge firms normally lease land in the country for production of horticultural produce.
