Flour |
Normal supply of
flour within Nairobi CBD resumed late last week with millers saying the
shortage witnessed resulted from transporters keeping off the road.
The processors said
they had enough stocks ahead of the General Election but the flour was
quickly cleared off the supermarket shelves in panic buying.
"We have been
milling throughout and we have enough stocks, the shortage in the market
is as a result of logistical challenges in moving flour from factories
to the market," said an official of Cereal Millers Association.
The official noted normal supply resumed from Thursday last week following relative calm after the Tuesday vote.
All major
supermarkets ran out of flour on Monday last week and a spot check on
Wednesday indicated the shelves were still empty.
A survey by Business Daily Friday indicated there was flour in most of the retail shops in Nairobi.
Supply of flour had
stabilised in the country last month following a serious shortage of
the staple that resulted from a failed crop last year, forcing the
government to import maize. Kenya imported five million bags in the last
three months.
The government is
banking on the short-rain crop currently under harvest in parts of the
South Rift to ease the shortage in the market.
Cereal Growers
Association say the ongoing harvest in Bomet and Baringo will be down by
20 per cent due to erratic rainfall and the effect of the fall
armyworms.
