The short answer
Kenya's principal maize-belt town, where farm inputs, grain handling and machinery trade set the commercial tone. Planting season in March and the maize harvest from October concentrate most of the year's trade into a few months. 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.
