Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi says the government may consider contracting special cargo aircraft to ferry fresh produce to cushion the sector from losses occasioned by the Kenya Airways (KQ) pilots' strike.

Mr Linturi said Monday the strike, which entered its third day on Monday, has affected the export of over 100 tonnes of produce so far.
