Jumpstart Your Product Export Sales to Kenya

Kenya present numerous opportunities, which include the region’s digital economy, green economy, natural resources, consumption potential and improving value chains. Their large, young, and growing urban population will supplement the region’s labor force and will help it capitalize on its large demographic dividend.

USDA’s Office of Agricultural Affairs in Nairobi reports that Kenya is East Africa’s economic powerhouse with a strong financial sector and a relatively well-developed logistics network, making it a regional hub. Kenya’s fast-growing population and middle class, combined with an expanding foodservice and retail sector, offer many opportunities for U.S. exporters.

US suppliers of food ingredients may find opportunities in Kenya’s food processing sector.  Local ingredient production does not always meet the processing industry’s demand.  Kenya has an expanding modern food retail, foodservice and food processing sectors.

Kenya’s feed ingredients market is currently estimated at $530 million, with a potential to grow by 30 percent by 2027 due to an expanding feed industry
