Uganda exported more maize to Rwanda (390MT), as Rwanda exported to DRC (404MT).\u00a0 The maize trade flow for the week changed from Kenya to Rwanda.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sorghum;<\/strong> There is a continuing trade pattern that started in mid \u2013August 2017 of Tanzania exporting Sorghum to Uganda, then Uganda exporting the sorghum to Kenya. The pattern is a result of Tanzania\u2019s trader barriers towards Kenya.\u00a0 The media reported that Kenya and Tanzania\u2019s trade cabinet secretaries are in discussions on Tanzania\u2019s trader barriers towards Kenya, hopefully the region will see a change in this pattern, which has resulted in increased prices for some of the commodities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pigeon Peas;<\/strong> Tanzania after a very long time finally exported pigeon peas to Kenya (21MT). According to Tanzania\u2019s media, the country has a pigeon peas glut which has drastically reduced the price of pigeon peas causing farmers huge losses.\u00a0 There are also reports of traders buying the excess surplus for export to the Indian market.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>The Week\u2019s Market Prices for Select Markets<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bettagrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Table-price-analysis-8-September-2017web.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5354 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bettagrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Table-price-analysis-8-September-2017web.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"268\" \/><em>Table 1- Market Prices for Select Markets in the East Africa Region for the Week Ending 8<sup>th<\/sup> September 2017<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The prices of commodity especially beans and maize has started to increase.\u00a0 Nairobi has declining quantities of cow peas and pigeon peas, all which are interesting marketing opportunities for Tanzania.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>The Week\u2019s Market Opportunities <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Betta Grains continues to receive various request to buy and sell grains and cereal.\u00a0 Kindly visit our eDuka page <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bettagrains.com\/?page_id=1236\">https:\/\/www.bettagrains.com\/?page_id=1236<\/a> for a more up to date list.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bettagrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/eDuka-Market-Opportunties-8-September-2017-web.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5350 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bettagrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/eDuka-Market-Opportunties-8-September-2017-web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bettagrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/eDuka-Market-Opportunties-8-September-2017-web.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.bettagrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/eDuka-Market-Opportunties-8-September-2017-web-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bettagrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/eDuka-Market-Opportunties-8-September-2017-web-768x549.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>Table 2 The Week&#8217;s Business Opportunities.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Author; Fostina Mani, Betta Grains. <a href=\"mailto:Fostina.Mani@bettagrains.com\">Fostina.Mani@bettagrains.com<\/a>, Twitter: @FostinaMani.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><em>Acknowledgment:\u00a0 The data used for the analysis has been obtained from; IAM, Government of Kenya, Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock &amp; Fisheries, Government of Tanzania, Ministry of Trade and Industry, EAGC, RATIN, Farm Gain Uganda, FEWS NET, \u00a0&amp; Betta Grains.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><em>Disclaimer. <\/em><em>Due to unavailable of data on various border points on formal cross-border trade flows and volumes in the public arena.\u00a0 The volumes indicated above are mostly from the informal cross-border data that is available to the public.\u00a0 The purpose of the analysis, is simply to provide an indication of the East Africa Regional Trade flow to SMEs, Smallholder Farmers, and Other Stakeholders in a manner and language that is applicable, simple, and makes sense.
