Kenya Poultry Feed Market Synopsis

The Kenya poultry feed market has been experiencing steady growth, driven by the rising demand for poultry products such as meat and eggs due to increasing population and urbanization. As of recent estimates, the market is projected to expand significantly, supported by a growing middle class with higher disposable incomes and a shift toward protein-rich diets. The sector is characterized by a mix of commercial and smallholder farmers, with the latter increasingly adopting improved feed formulations to enhance productivity. Key ingredients in poultry feed include maize, soybean meal, and various vitamins and minerals, with a trend toward incorporating alternative protein sources and additives to boost feed efficiency. Government initiatives promoting the poultry industry, alongside investments in feed production technology, are expected to further bolster market growth in the coming years.

According to 6Wresearch, Kenya Poultry Feed market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.4% during 2024-2030. The growth of the Kenya poultry feed market is primarily driven by several factors, including increasing demand for poultry products due to a growing population, urbanization, and rising middle-class incomes. This has led to a shift towards protein-rich diets, fueling demand for quality poultry feed. Additionally, technological advancements in feed formulation and production, along with the government's initiatives to support agriculture and livestock, are encouraging commercial poultry farming and boosting feed demand.

However, the Kenya Poultry Feed industry faces challenges such as fluctuating prices of key feed ingredients like maize and soybean, which are often impacted by climate variability and supply chain disruptions. Smallholder farmers, who constitute a large portion of the market, also face financial constraints and limited access to high-quality feed. Moreover, inadequate infrastructure and high costs associated with feed transportation further hinder market growth, especially in rural areas. Addressing these challenges is essential for sustaining long-term growth in the industry.
