Machines from China assist grinding business

NAIROBI－It is early in the morning and Kenyan Cliff Nyongesa is getting ready to open his maize milling shop in Nairobi's Kawangware suburb, a low-income residential district.

There is already a long queue of customers waiting with bags of maize outside his small shop. The 42-year-old father of three charges his customers 10 Kenyan shillings ($0.09) to grind two kilograms of maize into flour.

Nyongesa told Xinhua News Agency on July 10 that his business is doing well thanks to the modern maize milling machine he bought from China in 2019. "It is well designed and suited for heavy use," Nyongesa said.
