Kenya Imports Wheat From Russia to Overcome Shortage in the Country

With the increasing shortage of wheat in the country due to persistent drought, Kenya has imported wheat from Russia with a vessel docking at the port of Mombasa on 12 February 2023. The imports are expected to reduce the price of wheat, which retails at USD 0.75/kg in W7. The total import volume for wheat for 2022 was 135,000MT, and Kenya received 51,000MT of wheat from Ukraine that year.
