The maize sellers have become innovative on how to carry their ready to eat produce by modifying wires on a long rod to carry more than what normal hand carries. Each one carries up to fifteen pieces with single full maize sold at sh20. (Photo: Denish Ochieng/ Standard)

If you think Kenyans make the best hawkers in the continent, wait until you visit other countries.

For instance, hawking bread, arguably the most loved product in the world, along the highways in Cameroon is not a big deal.

But just like Kenya, herbalists here have also perfected their trade to sell products to travellers.
