According to Agriculture Ps kalenjin region factories are producing poor quality tea that is going unsold at the tea auction in Mombasa. There were 19 million bags unsold and the There are 9 million bags remaining to be sold. Most market expert believe that the ps lying and rhe 19 million bags is rhe number still unsold
From Facebook ktda forum farmers blamethe unsold tea on satellite factories producing substandard tea
Shida ni satellite factory, you find one factory owning upto four factories, and one is plucking quality other one pluck poorly and that will discourage other, and they become reluctant, we've forth for separation but head office reject

It's huge mess. I think mechanization only way out. We definitely lost the quality war. The unsold tea need to sold for any price before they rot. Remove kimunya minimum price n kalenjin embrace machinery.

Fixed minimum price without factoring quality. The stupidity of price fixing for a commodity.

Machines seem not to pick quality tea. Korea tea fetches one of the best prices due to qulaity.

Minimum guarantee return and price fixing in tea, coffee and dairy sectors will end up killing same sectors that're supposedly being propped up . Eventually the markets always wins out.

How can we push for reforms? I am a farmer..I will seek leadership in this sector

Mlolongo directors and reforms plus directors by Munya was epic failure. In our place they were all rejected.
Yes remove that cap.
Also let not demonize machines.
West of Rift - should focus on cost reduction - and always follow the tea estate.
Once big boys do something - like bringing machinery - farmers too should invest in them.
West of Rift - Focus on HIGH PRODUCTION and LOWER COST. Plucking quality tea you need to pay someone even 15 like Mt kenya. Machines can do that for 2bob. You've saved 13shs. That pretty much make the difference with quality tea.

And there you have it, market forces scrapping of minimum reserve price https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/bd/markets/commodities/state-suspends-auction-reserve-price-on-stranded-tea-stock-4730612 . Its the same stupid idea of minimum guaranteed income that UDA was advocating.
