Kenya will import 25 million 90-kilogramme bags of maize to combat a predicted food shortage. The move is a direct response to drought conditions and broader climate challenges impacting maize production across key agricultural areas. Agriculture and Livestock Production Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe confirmed arrangements are underway to facilitate the import. This intervention aims to bridge the anticipated deficit and stabilize food supply within the country. The government anticipates this measure will prevent widespread food insecurity. The importation is expected to alleviate pressure on domestic maize prices and ensure availability for consumers. This decision underscores the vulnerability of Kenya’s food systems to climate change.
