Kenya: Grain and Feed - Field Report

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   KE2025-0021
In August 2025, Agricultural Specialists from FAS Nairobi visited wheat and corn producers, aggregators, millers, and distributors across Kenya to gather information on the status of the current crop. Adequate rainfall reported by producers in 2025 suggests that wheat and corn production will return to their normal levels in marketing year (MY) 2025/26, in line with official USDA estimates. Post continues to expect Kenyan farmers will produce around 4.4 million metric tons of corn (48.9 million bags), and 280,000 metric tons (3.1 million bags) of wheat this year. Kenyan farmers report challenges with access to fertilizers, traditional drying methods, and grain storage.
