Kenya’s poultry industry is at a crossroads. With an annual consumption of 2.4 billion eggs, demand is soaring—but so are production costs. At up to Ksh. 10 per egg, many farmers are struggling to stay afloat.

Today, KNCCI President Dr. Erick Rutto, alongside National Directors, visited Doussy Chicken Farm in Narok—a leading producer supplying 3,500 trays of eggs daily from a flock of 170,000 chickens. Dr. Walter Chanua, KNCCI member and Executive Director of Doussy Farm, shared a hard-hitting reality: feed costs alone devour 75% of total sales, leaving little room for labor, vaccines, and essential operations.

KNCCI is stepping up to turn the tide. By fostering strategic partnerships, enhancing farmer training, and unlocking export markets, we are committed to securing a more profitable and sustainable future for poultry farmers. Together, we’re not just producing eggs—we’re building a resilient industry that feeds the nation and beyond.
