Kenya continues to rely heavily on imports, mostly from China and Asia at large.
President William Ruto has said in the recent past said his government is keen on reducing the importation of food products by 50 per cent.
Ruto said the government is spending lots of resources on importing food products which in the end is resulting in more costs.
Ruto said that the government spends so much on food importation yet the food products can be made locally to the benefit of farmers and the country.
Some of the food items imported include sugar, wheat, rice, maize and edible oils.
