Food producing regions are struggling to get market for their harvest, even as some counties stare at starvation due to drought.

Uasin Gishu, Elgeyo Marakwet, Nandi and Trans Nzoia counties, which have had bumper harvests, producing cereals, horticultural produce and dairy products, ironically border Baringo, Turkana and West Pokot, the counties ravaged by drought.
