Water and Irrigation CS Eugene Wamalwa has said that Coast residents will buy two kilograms of unga at Sh75.
Wamalwa said that this will be made possible by the the Galana-Kulalu irrigation project which will begin the distribution soon.
He said that the Unga Galana brand has been produced, milled and packaged in the irrigaion Galana.
“The National Irrigation Board can now put a packet of unga on the shelves at Sh75 from the 10,000-acre model farm in Galana-Kulalu irrigation,” Wamalwa said.
This will be good for the residents who currently buy the commodity at Sh142 in the supermarkets.
On Tuesday, the government announced that the price of unga for the rest of the country will be Sh115.
