Experts warn that low grain prices could pose threat to national food security

Agricultural experts have cautioned that mishandling of maize purchasing by the Government could turn maize farming to an unviable venture and lead to food insecurity in years ahead.

Farmers have complained about low prices. The Government is offering Sh2,300 for a 90kg bag, up from the originally announced Sh2,200, compared to last year’s buying price of Sh3,000.
