Who we are
Agri NewsByte is a news site about farming around the world. We write about crops, livestock, prices and trade, the weather, farm technology and the rules that shape all of it. Our office is in Nairobi, Kenya. Our readers are farmers, buyers, traders, investors and people starting farm technology companies.
Our editors decide what goes on the site. When a client pays for an article, an editor reads it before it goes live and can send it back.
How we report
We tell you where our information comes from, and we name our sources when we can. Before we publish numbers, prices or quotes, we check them against where they first appeared.
If a story makes a serious claim about a person or a company, we ask them for their side. Opinion pieces go in our Opinions section, and what they say is the writer's own view.
Paid content
We make our money from advertising and paid articles. Paid articles are marked Sponsored and banners are marked Ad, so you can tell them from our own reporting. Nobody can pay to change what we report or how we report it.
Market prices
Our staff keep the prices on the Market Prices page and change them when new figures come in. Next to each price you can see the unit, the date we last updated it and how far it moved since the figure before. Prices move quickly, so check with your market before you buy or sell.
When we get it wrong
Tell us. Email [email protected] with a link to the story and what is wrong, and we will look into it and put it right.
If we change the headline, summary or text of a story after it is published, you will see an Updated date next to the original one.
News, not advice
Nothing on this site is farming, financial, investment or legal advice. Please talk to someone qualified before you act on what you read here. Our Terms of Use go into more detail.
