Abstract
Kenya’s livestock is a major yet under-capitalised economic pillar, contributing to 12% of national GDP, nearly 40% agricultural GDP and supports an estimate of 25 million people in employment. Despite its scale, the sector continues to attract significantly less private investment than horticulture, tea and dairy subsectors that have structured markets, strong cooperative systems and predictable pricing. The African Pastoral Markets Development (APMD) platform revealed the growing appetite for structured engagement, with over USD 2 million in forward contracts and supply agreements between producers, feedlots, processors and offtakers.
