AGRICULTURE AND FOOD AUTHORITY (AFA) TENDER JUNE 2023
PUBLIC NOTICE
IMPLEMENTATION OF MIRAA LEVY
The Crops (Miraa) Regulations, 2023 was published on 5th April 2023 thus providing the regulatory
framework for the Miraa sub-sector in Kenya. The Regulations contain various provisions that are
geared towards trade facilitation through registration and licensing of value chain players. The
miraa sub-sector has improved drastically in the last twelve months in particular after the re-opening
of the Somalia Market in July 2022.
Whereas implementation of licensing procedures was rolled out in immediately after the publication,
the Implementation of the Miraa Levy was delayed as the development of enabling framework
was underway. The e-platform has now been completed on the AFA’s Integrated Management
Information System.
In this regard, the Authority hereby notifies the general public that the Miraa Levy provided for
under Regulations 31 of Crops (Miraa) Regulations, 2023 shall take effect from 1st July 2023.
The stakeholders are required to adhere to the provisions of the Crops (Miraa) Regulations 2023
and ensure compliance.
