Kenya: Exporter Guide

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   KE2021-0020

Kenya’s imports of consumer-oriented food products grew at an average annual rate of 9.6 percent between 2016 and 2020. This increase was fueled by a growing middle class with rising disposable income, increased urbanization, and expanding modern food retail and food service sectors. U.S. exports to Kenya shrunk by 11 percent within the same period. For U.S. exporters, the best prospective products include snack foods, sauces and condiments, pasta and processed cereals, distilled spirits and other alcoholic drinks, dairy products, tree nuts, and pet food.
