NAIROBI, KENYA: Kenya Breweries (KBL) has revised upwards grain demands following the easing of covid-19 restriction measures by President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Economic restrictions during the lockdown period depressed the brewer’s sales causing it to reduce grain demand
The easing of Covid-19 restrictions such as the reopening of on-trade outlets (bars, pubs, and restaurants) by the government has paved way for the revision of Kenya Breweries Limited’s grain demand.
