Kenyan mango farmers eye China sales

NAIROBI - Kenya's mango farmers will soon be able to export their produce to China to prevent a price slump amid an abundant harvest, a chamber of commerce official said at the weekend.

Chairman of the Kenya Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Zhuo Wu, said during the Chinese Mango Festival held in Nairobi that they would soon start exporting Kenyan-grown mangoes to China in order to boost local farmers' incomes.

"We will work together with Kenyan mango growers to assist them to source for market for their products, in order to absorb their bumper harvest," Zhuo said.
