TEA FARMERS IN NANDI PROTEST OVER POOR PRICES.
Tea farmers from Nandi County are protesting the decision by tea buying companes to reduce the price from 30 shillings to 19 per kilogram.
The more than 3000 farmers from Kombe, Kaptel Kapsisiywa, Kipchabo and Samoo tea growing regions in Nandi County converged at Chomisia center in Nandi to air their grievances.
The angry farmers said the economic challenges occasioned by Covid -19 pandemic had negatively impacted on them, and any further reduction of tea prices will worsen the situation.
The farmers have threatened to uproot the tea crops and seek alternatives investment which could give them promising returns.
But the management from Kipchabo Tea factory attributed the changes in prices to the forces of demand and supply.
