The short answer
The commercial centre of the North Rift, a grain-handling and milling town that also serves as the wholesale point for a wide farming hinterland. Maize harvest and the cereal-board buying season dominate the trading year; university terms lift retail and food service. What differs locally is the trading pattern rather than the paperwork: this page holds the commercial picture, and the eTIMS requirements themselves stay on the pages that cite KRA for them.
