The State subsidy that has seen the two-kilo maize flour packet retail at Sh90 may be extended to September as Kenya grapples with delayed and inadequate harvests from the grain basket region of North Rift.

Agriculture secretary Willy Bett said the subsidy will run into the harvest season when maize prices are expected to fall, offering millers an opportunity to keep flour prices below Sh100.
