Kenya: Kenya's Court of Appeal Issued an Injunction on Genetically Engineered Products
On Friday, March 7, 2025, Kenya’s Court of Appeal put a hold on the trade and cultivation of genetically engineered (GE) products until an appeal filed by the Kenya Peasants League is fully heard. A lower court had removed a long-standing ban on GE products in November 2024, temporarily opening Kenya to global feed markets and agro-technology; however, this appeals court decision paused any movement until a subsequent hearing in late 2025. Both feed and seed industry actors had taken steps to import GE products since November.
