Farmers in North Rift have been left disappointed as maize prices fall.

A 90kg bag now sells at between Sh4,500 and Sh4,800, from between Sh5,000 and Sh5,300 - only two months ago.

Farmers in Uasin Gishu County on Tuesday attributed the drop to maize glut. They said that parents keen on raising school fees had flooded the market with the produce.
