The Kenyan government has increased the producer price of locally grown wheat to Sh5,100 per 90 kg bag, a rise of Sh350 from the previous year. This decision follows pressure from farmers, particularly in Narok County, who had threatened demonstrations over prices below production costs.

• The new price, announced by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development on August 7, 2026, falls short of the farmers' demand of Sh5,378 per bag.
• Key figures involved include Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe and farmer representatives like Standley Koonyo.
• The government stated the agreed price applies at designated aggregation centers during a wheat mop-up exercise, aiming for a "win-win outcome" for producers and millers.
