Kenya exports to Somalia up 76pc on ‘miraa’ boost
Head of Miraa Pyrethrum and other Industrial Crops Felix Mutwiri says Kenya has so far exported 1.4 million kilogrammes of miraa.
Some 22 years ago, Moses Lichoro decided to leave his father’s home and establish himself in Igembe Central, Meru as a miraa farmer.
They are paying a commission of $4.5 (Sh635) for every kilogramme of miraa that is exported to Somalia.
Kenya has exported miraa worth Sh1 billion to Somalia in under a month since the resumption of trade coming as a major reprieve to growers.
