Producers are paying a steep price following delayed clearance of 2,000 tonnes of calcium and potassium nitrate fertiliser at the Mombasa Port, hurting horticultural and flower production.

Kenya Flower Council (KFC) chief executive Clement Tulezi said importers are charging Sh65,000 a tonne compared to the usual Sh25,000 before the government started pre-inspection last June.
