Quantity, price, payment and identity of deliverers top the list of farmers demands as the cereal board moves to implement Deputy President William Ruto’s order to release a purchase plan on current harvest.

Ruto also announced release of Sh2.1 billion to pay off farmers who delivered maize to the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) and had not been paid.
