Kenya: Grain and Feed Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

FAS/Nairobi forecasts an increase in Kenya’s corn, wheat and rice production in the marketing year (MY) 2017/2018 mainly due to a recovery from the effects of the severe drought conditions experienced in MY 2016/2017. Post expects demand of the three commodities to increase due to a surge in human consumption of corn, wheat and rice based food products, and due to increased use of corn and wheat in livestock feeds manufacture. Imports of the commodities will offset the supply shortfall.
