(cannot meet 50% of daily food requirements).Currently 0ver 4.5 million Kenyans are in need of
food aid partly due to drought especially in the ASALs and high food prices ( 100-130% above normal) especially in
the urban areas.
output of Maize fell from a surplus of 9million bags in 2006 to a deficit of 15 million bags on 2009
