Kenyan farmers complain of unfair competition with Tanzania
At the Taveta market, near the Kenya-Tanzania border, bananas, tomatoes, onions among other farm produce from Tanzania are sold at a cheaper price, the farmers said, making traders to prefer buying them.
“At times we sell a bunch of banana for Sh30 because supply is more than the demand. We opt to do so because it is better to get a little money than nothing at all,” Ms Violet Meriki, a banana and onion farmer said.
The farmers now want the national and the county government to intervene so that they can get profits from their produce.
