CS Mithika Linturi, today appeared before the National Assembly’s Departmental Committee on Agriculture, led by Hon. John Mutunga, to elaborate more on the duty waiver incentives on sugar, rice, and maize imports issued by the ministry.
CS Linturi described the procedures that the ministry through Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA) followed to ensure fairness in issuing import licenses whilst upholding quality standards for the sake of the consumer.
The CS gave insights on how the Ministry is supporting production and introducing diverse food options to alleviate maize demand and reduce reliance on imports in the future.
