The Mexican maize received at the port of Mombasa last Thursday was transhipped from South Africa, the government has clarified today.

The 29,900-tonne cargo that arrived at the Mombasa port last Thursday, via vessel Mv IVS Pinehurst, was meant to address a biting flour shortage that has led to a surge in prices.
