Workers clean maize at the NCPB depot in Elburgon, Nakuru County, on April 1. Traders, private millers and the NCPB have increased the price of a 90kg bag of maize.
The National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) will pay an extra Sh300 for a bag of maize, a relief for farmers though consumers are likely to pay more for flour.
In a second price review in two weeks, the board said it would buy a 90-kilogramme bag of maize at Sh3,000, up from Sh2,700 as the corporation attempts to ward off competition from traders and private millers.
