The National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) has capped the purchase of maize at 400 bags worth Sh1 million, as the government moves to tame traders and large-scale holders who have been accused of abusing the window at the expense of small-scale farmers.
According to the government, any registered farmer with more than 400 bags of the produce must be cleared by the Strategic Food Reserve (SFR).
