The government has unveiled an ambitious KES 1.081 trillion investment framework aimed at transforming Kenya’s agricultural and food systems over the next five years.
Speaking during the 2026 FINAS Summit, Principal Secretary for Livestock Development Jonathan Mueke said Africa has the potential to not only feed itself but also contribute significantly to global food production if sustainable investment is prioritized.
Mueke announced the launch of the National Agri-food Systems Investment Plan (NASIP 2026–2030), describing it as a strategic roadmap designed to accelerate the transformation of Kenya’s agri-food sector.
He said the initiative seeks to strengthen collaboration among the national government, county governments, private sector players, development partners and farmers to unlock greater investments and modernize agricultural and livestock value chains.
According to the PS, the investment plan is expected to stimulate economic growth through job creation, strengthen food and nutrition security, and position Kenya as a regional leader in sustainable agri-food systems.
He emphasized that the future of agriculture would not be determined by existing challenges, but by the partnerships established and investments made today.
The NASIP framework comes as Kenya continues to pursue long-term solutions aimed at improving agricultural productivity, increasing resilience and supporting sustainable food systems across the country.
