By GERALD ANDAEMore by this AuthorMillers have adjusted the Recommended Retail Price (RRP) for a two-kilo packet of flour by up to 10 percent in one week as maize shortage continues to bite. Unga Ltd, the makers of popular Jogoo brand, has adjusted its RRP to Sh117 this week from Sh109 last week while Capwell, which owns Soko has adjusted its price to Sh120 for a two-kilo packet. This has forced retailers to adjust only marginally, with others selling below the recommended price. “I am actually below RRP, the prices have been changing including yesterday,” said Willy Kimani, chief operating officer Naivas Supermarket. “We cannot dictate to the millers the price at which they can sell the flour, it is their own choice,” says Rajan Shah, chief executive officer Capwell Industries.
