Kenya: Grain and Feed Annual

FAS Nairobi forecasts a recovery in Kenya's grain production in marketing year (MY) 2026/27 as the country rebounds from a year of significant drought. In the forecast year, corn production is expected to surge by 32.4 percent to 4.5 million metric tons (MT), wheat output is projected to rise 27.3 percent to 280,000 MT, and rice production is slated to reach 225,000 tons. The large increases are driven by an expected return to normal rainfall, which will expand acreage to pre-drought levels and improve yields. Imports are forecast to decrease as domestic production fills the supply gap.
