Officials from the United States Grains Council staff (USDA), agribusiness and producer members, recently took part in the USDA agriculture trade mission (ATM) in East Africa. With a population of more than 50 million people, Kenya remains one of the leading economies in East Africa. During the mission in Nairobi, the Council conducted a series of side visits with key partners on the ground, including with the Association of Kenya Feed Manufacturers (AKEFEMA). The Council met with AKEFEMA to discuss recent developments in the Kenya feed industry to better understand the current state of the feed and livestock industry and to discuss opportunities for US feed grains use there. “Our roundtable meeting with AFEFEMA allowed us to work on the capacity building within the Kenyan feed industry – that is a goal of AFEFEMA,” Sifferath said.
