Export market for Corn Flour in Kenya (11월, 2022)

Record high prices for maize flour in Kenya have led to concerns about inflation and the financial strain on households, with a two-kilogramme packet of flour now costing up to Sh213. The price increase, which is 18.3% higher than the beginning of November, is due to the rising cost of maize, which makes up 80% of the flour's production cost. The government is responding by allowing the importation of 10 million bags of maize to help lower prices and prevent further inflation. However, millers and traders welcome the imports, citing concerns about a potential maize shortage in January due to hoarding by farmers.
