Kenya: Poultry and Products Situation

FAS Nairobi projects Kenya's chicken meat production to increase by about eight percent in 2025, supported by better access to quality chicks, veterinary inputs, and strong demand. Although feed costs remain high, local feed quality is gradually improving. Population growth, higher incomes, and changing dietary preferences are driving demand in urban areas. The industry remains primarily focused on meeting domestic demand, while export opportunities are constrained by the relatively high production costs, which makes it less competitive in regional and international markets.
