FSD Kenya, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), and the National Treasury and Economic Planning shared findings of the Green Finance for Youth Employment Food Systems Analysis report in an event held in Nairobi on Thursday, 28th May 2026.

The Food Systems Analysis was commissioned by FSD Kenya through the Green Finance for Youth Employment (GFYE) project, to study five priority value chains (dairy, horticulture, poultry, fisheries and aquaculture, and apiculture) across 14 counties.

The analysis revealed persistent supply gaps across all these five value chains, documenting Kenya’s annual deficit of 5 billion eggs; 6.5 to 7.5 billion litres of milk; 340,000 metric tonnes of fish; and 5,500 metric tonnes of honey. These shortfalls are largely met through imports, signalling immediate market opportunities for domestic production by youth-led and youth employing enterprises.
