Sorghum farmers in Tharaka-Nithi are set to pocket better earnings following an agreement between the county government and East Africa Breweries Limited (EABL) that will cut off middlemen.

Under the trade deal, EABL will buy sorghum, used in making Senator Keg beer, directly from farmers, eliminating the exploitative brokers who offer poor prices.
