Despite a slight dip in overall Kenyan inflation in February, the cost of essential vegetables like sukuma wiki, cabbage, and potatoes continues to put pressure on the food basket. This is largely due to the lingering effects of poor short rains on crop production.

• The food and non-alcoholic beverages segment rose by 7.3 percent over the 12 months to February.
• The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) reported the mixed price movements.
• Drought conditions from the October–December season significantly disrupted crop production.
