The Proposal

The Government of Kenya has set in place a long-term plan focusing on four strategic areas:

Pasture and fodder commercialization

Climate-resilient, climate-smart livestock feeds production

Establishment of animal feeds business centers

Irrigation for high value forages

The plan is to implement these strategic across agro-ecological zones in three Semi-Arid counties and will focus on common as well county specific interventions.

In Kenya, the Hand-in-Hand Initiative supports investments addressing animal feeds gap currently estimated to be 60 percent. Although the livestock resource base has continued to increase reaching 24 million TLU, the available feeds resource can only meet about half of the total feeds demand. This is occasioned by irregular seasonal rains and periodic droughts have become a common occurrence. Therefore, investments focus on investment opportunities related to provision of animal feeds foundation data (digitized feed balance and feed inventory data), storage innovations, establishment of animal feeds business centres for priority feeds commodity value chains.

Agro-informatics connects information technology with the management, analysis and application of agricultural data to design more accurate and targeted agricultural interventions. The use of new technologies and techniques in agriculture, such as satellite imagery, remote sensing, and geographic information systems, enable the transformation of data into actionable information.
