GMO Maize

Kenya may be forced to switch to genetically modified foods in order to meet its food requirements. Agriculture minister William Ruto has admitted that the country was facing difficulties in sourcing adequate food imports since most of the grains on the international market are genetically modified. The minister has however assured the public that none of the maize being imported into the country was genetically modified. Currently the government is spending an extra 7,500 shillings to purchase a tone of maize since the existing laws do not allow the importation of genetically modified products into the country.
