The price of a 2kg packet of maize flour could go up to Sh200 by March, millers have said.
Currently, a 2kg packet of maize flour is retailing at between Sh110 and Sh115.
Peter Kuguru, the chairman of the United Grain Millers Association, on Monday, said the supply of maize from the North Rift is decreasing and what is available could last until next month.
“We have two million bags of maize currently at the Strategic Grain Reserve against a monthly demand of three million.This will not be enough. This means millers will have to rely on imports from the neighbouring countries like Uganda and Tanzania,” he said.
