When the fruits are in season here, those who are trading in them want to purchase them instantly and sell them, but they have no capacity to buy and store. A country that talks about economic power is the one that uses what is grown in that country. For example, Israel is a desert but it has turned out to be the biggest supplier of fruits in the world. If you look at the juices we are drinking here, you will find that it is only 20 per cent that is produced by Del Monte and other companies. It is a shame to be in this country. It is a shame to wake up in this country and allow yourself to be called a leader when you still see imported fruits on our shelves. The Kenya Bureau of Standards (KeBS) only gives out packages that have their logo for the contents to be allowed to be sold in Kenya. Nobody knows where these juices have been manufactured. We are buying juices from Malaysia whereas if you went to Malaysia, you would not find a fruit tree that produces quality fruits that are grown in Kenya.
