In a landmark move set to revolutionize the national poultry sector, Kenya has unveiled an ambitious World Bank-backed plan to dramatically scale up its poultry production. This strategic initiative aims to more than triple the current output, projecting an increase from an estimated 78,000 birds in 2024 to an impressive 240,000 birds by 2027. This expansion is a critical step towards enhancing food security, creating economic opportunities, and reducing reliance on poultry imports, positioning Kenya as a regional leader in poultry farming.
The initiative, supported through a memorandum signed in 2024, underscores the World Bank's commitment to bolstering Kenya's agricultural value chains and empowering smallholder farmers. This aggressive growth trajectory is not just about numbers; it's about building a sustainable, resilient, and profitable poultry industry for all stakeholders, from small-scale farmers to large commercial enterprises, feed manufacturers, veterinarians, and students aspiring to enter the sector.
The Kenya poultry production expansion 2025 program is meticulously structured into phases, designed to ensure steady and sustainable growth. The overarching goal is to achieve a 300% increase in production, a testament to the nation's dedication to agricultural transformation. This significant scaling up will be achieved through a multi-pronged approach encompassing financial support, technical assistance, and capacity building.
