What affects rice prices in Kenya?
Fresh produce prices move fast because supply and demand shift week to week. The biggest drivers are:
Seasonality and harvest cycles — prices fall during peak harvest and rise in the off-season.
Rainfall and weather, which change how much reaches the market and its quality.
Transport costs from the farm to the market — fuel and distance are priced into every bag.
Local gluts and shortages — one county can be oversupplied while another runs short.
Grade and quality — Grade 1 and well-sorted produce fetch a clear premium.
Demand from towns, schools, hotels and other bulk buyers.
