The exports were mostly sorghum, rice, peas and groundnuts. Sunflower Seed Cake and Maize Brain were the major exports to Kenya. There are numerous unconfirmed reports of Tanzania increasing trade barriers on imports to Kenya, especially from the Southern Africa region. This perhaps explains the increased trade volumes through Uganda, as most traders are reporting the ease of transporting goods to Kenya through Uganda.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rwanda<\/strong> exported grains to Uganda (165MT) and DRC(868MT), mostly maize, wheat, rice, and beans. While some of the wheat may have been imports from Kenya, Rwanda still exported more grain than Kenya during the week.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kenya<\/strong> exported wheat to Rwanda (490MT) and Tanzania (3MT), as it continued to be the leading importer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>The Week\u2019s Market Prices for Select Markets<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bettagrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Price-Comparisions-for-the-Week-ending-25-August-2017.jpg\">Table 1 East Africa Region Select Market Price Comparisons.
