On a typical weekday morning, the trading floor of the Kenya Agricultural Commodity Exchange at the Jamhuri Show Ground in Nairobi bustles with farmers, brokers and traders. Up on the boards, based on faxed and computer-delivered data, are the offers of farmers from various regions to supply all sorts of produce: maize, millet, dry maize, potatoes, ripe bananas (KACE has introduced a banana-ripening plant to help farmers target their sales), beans and sorghum. KACE now has almost 150 members, and the numbers are growing by the month. After a good three years of gradual expansion, KACE is confident of the future. Their main concern, confided to Spore by a staff member, is in enabling the farmers to learn the rules of the game, and to accept market prices, even if they want higher.
