Tomato farmers in Baringo and Nakuru counties have said over-production has caused them huge losses.

They say the prevailing hot weather has led to a glut that they are have been unable to find markets for. The use of greenhouses, which protect the crop from the elements that destroy it, have also contributed to the over-supply.
