Kenya: Grain and Feed Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   KE2025-0006
FAS Nairobi forecasts Kenya’s marketing year 2025/26 corn production to increase by 15.8 percent due to a return to normal weather, following an unusually dry year. Rice production is also anticipated to increase by 11 percent, as more land is brought under irrigation and yields sustained. Wheat production will, however, decline by 5.6 percent due to a reduction in area harvested, as farmers respond to complications with the domestic support program. Kenya will remain a net importer of all the three commodities due local supply deficits. Import sourcing for corn and corn products will remain severely constrained by Kenya's ban on importation of genetically engineered products, limiting any advances in poultry, dairy, and livestock production.
