The country is staring at a drastic drop in wheat production after farmers in the North Rift reduced acreage due to the high cost of production and poor prices. “The government reduced the duty on imported wheat crop to 10 per cent, making local millers flood the local market with cheaply imported wheat," Kipkorir Menjo, the Kenya Farmers Association official, said. Data from counties indicates that there is projected decline in production as more farmers shift from wheat to maize and other crops. "Last season, millers did not buy locally produced wheat from farmers, discouraging farmers from growing the crop,” Yego, an agronomist, said.
