It’s Ugali again! Maize flour will sell for Sh100.

The government has reduced the cost of maize flour to Sh100 for a 2-kilogram packet over the course of the upcoming month, providing millions of Kenyans who are struggling with severe inflation that has driven up the cost of essentials with much-needed respite.

The Ministry of Agriculture announced on Monday that it had reached an agreement with millers to lower the price of flour, which in recent weeks has been selling for more than Sh210 at major retail shops, significantly reducing consumer purchasing power.

A 1-kilogram packet will cost Sh52 and a 500-gram package Sh30 at retail.

“The Ministry of Agriculture shall subsidize the price of maize flour being produced/sold by the miller for a period of four (4) weeks from the date of this contract,” read part of the agreement the Ministry has inked with millers.
