Kenya has taken the fight to reclaim the lost European miraa market to the United Nations in a move aimed at safeguarding the incomes of about 150,000 Meru farmers.

Agriculture secretary Willy Bett said the government has tabled a request at the UN seeking an interpretation of the clause that European countries used to ban miraa.
