The bonus payout to farmers will not be affected by tea piling up in the warehouses in Mombasa.
On Friday, Agriculture Principal Secretary Paul Ronoh said the government has intervened to ensure that the over 100 million kilograms of unsold tea gets market soon.
Speaking during a meeting with traders at the Mombasa Tea Auction, Mr Ronoh announced that the warehouse cost would be waived.
“The unsold tea is due to increased production. It will make no difference when it comes to payment of bonuses as we commit to sell the 100 million kilograms of tea within a month,” he said.
