Bei ya Unga wa mahindi nchini Kenya itashuka kutoka Ksh. 230-100 kuanzia leo Julai 18
Hii ni baada ya Serikali ya Kenya kutoa ruzuku kwa bei ya uzalishaji wa bidhaa hiyo kwa muda wa wiki 4.
Katika muda wa wiki 4, Wizara ya Kilimo italipa sehemu ya gharama ya kuzalisha Unga, ili kuwaepusha Wakenya kutokana na athari za kupanda kwa bei ya bidhaa hiyo.

The price of Unga (Maize flour) in Kenya will drop from Ksh 230-100 from today.
This is after the Government of Kenya subsidised the price of production of the commodity for a period of 4 weeks.
In the 4 weeks, the Ministry of Agriculture will pay part of the cost of producing Unga, so as to cushion Kenyans from the effect of rise in the price of the commodity.
As a result of the subsidy, Unga will retail as follows;
The recent subsidy follows one that would see the price of commodity reduce by Ksh 2 after Government’s bid to suspend the levies on imported maize.
On June 28, Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya announced that the government will issue a directive suspending the levies that will lower the price of flour.
Then, the United Grain Millers Association (UGMA), an umbrella organization for both small and large-scale millers, said the move is insignificant and will have little impact on consumers.
"If we can have direct government talk to scrap export permit levy, then the price of maize will come down and this will impact on the cost of the final product," said UGMA chairman Ken Nyaga.
