What experts are prescribing to strengthen livestock industry

Abstract

The livestock industry is approaching a pivotal moment. Long defined by informal markets, climatic shocks, and subsistence-level production, the sector must now pivot toward structure, sustainability and scale. With rising domestic demand and billion-shilling export potential within reach, the opportunity, and the pressure, to modernise has never been greater. his call for transformation echoed throughout the 2025 Kenya Meat Expo, held on August 6-8, where policy experts, pastoral representatives, private sector leaders, and livestock advocates gathered under the theme, “Driving Sustainable Growth Across the Meat Value Chain”.
