Ukraine is angling to export maize to Kenya after the government allowed in more duty-free yellow maize for cattle feed manufacturing, as well as white maize for human consumption. This comes as maize supply in the country normalises. Ukraine announced on 29 august that Kenya has extended duty-free purchase of yellow maize for one year and that of white maize up to end of next month. Govt of Kenya has extended until June 30, 2018 the procedure for the duty-free purchase of yellow fodder maize for the needs of companies belonging to the Association of Millers and the Association of Feed Makers of Kenya. Government of Kenya also extended until September 30, 2017 the duty-free purchase of white food maize. But farmers could face problems as the imports may hamper bid to cash in on higher prices as local maize finds its way to the market.
