Photo Essay: A Town Prospering on a Legal Drug Trade

The small town of Maua in Kenya produces much of East Africa’s and even the world’s khat – or miraa as it is know here. We visited Maua to prepare an article about the miraa circus that stroke us as quite interesting. The plant has to be consumed preferably within 24 hours after it has been cut down from the trees. This gives the whole industry an urgency that transforms what could be a dormant small town into a bustling entrepreneurial hub.

This photo essay is about Maua and its people that get their living from growing and trading miraa. The essay has been published also in our magazine, The Measure.
