While agricultural productivity is limited, Kenya’s population however is growing. This poses critical challenges to food supply in the country, a lot of people receive food aid annually. To contribute to foodstuff industry is not just a way to change personal own life but a moral action to contribute to the nation.
Even though malnutrition indicators are improving, it is estimated that from 2010 to 2030, undernutrition will cost Kenya approximately $38.3 billion in GDP due to losses in workforce productivity.
While the challenges are great, so are the opportunities. With the largest dairy herd in east and southern Africa, Kenya has the potential to meet local demand for dairy and target regional markets. As one of the largest African exporters of fresh produce to Europe, Kenya’s horticulture industry can expand domestic, regional and international markets. Markets, in turn, can significantly grow through reforms that address standards and quality, policy constraints, irrigation, roads, agricultural inputs, extension, and market access promotion.
Persistent crises, such as flood and drought in Kenya’s arid lands, exacerbate the vulnerability of basic livelihoods. In response, the U.S. Government has layered humanitarian and development assistance to build resilience and expand economic opportunities in these areas through disaster risk reduction; conflict mitigation; natural resource management; and strengthening the livestock, dairy and other vital sectors.
Feed the Future is helping Kenya capitalize on these opportunities in agriculture to meet the country’s food security and nutrition challenges. Maize mills and wheat flour mills are without any doubt one of the best ways to make a good living and contribute to Kenyan, we will be honored to do something to help with lowest price and best service.
