We improve access to market for women poultry farmers by sourcing and supplying high-quality chicken to restaurants, hotels, and institutions through technology
Today I decided to spend my Easter Monday learning abt poultry farming. I happened to vst 2 farms both broilers & layers
Thy are fed on koudijs concentrates & maize. Broilers can be sold in 5wks while layers can produce eggs fr 2 yrs.
And all these farms are on one hectare each.

The Changing Landscape of Poultry Farming in Kenya: A Five-Year Retrospective
Over the past half-decade, the poultry farming sector in Kenya has witnessed a remarkable transformation, with both challenges and opportunities reshaping the industry.
Consultations with stakeholders continue as Kenya advances the Kenya - US Strategic Trade and Investment Partnership. The Agriculture and SPS teams met with the Poultry Breeders Association of Kenya and discussed strategies to advance the poultry sector. 1/2

The proposed Livestock Bill 2024 introduced by Kikuyu legislator, @NAssemblyKE Majority Leader Hon. @KIMANIICHUNGWAH, will constitute a new Authority mandated to regulate inputs and products of all forms of livestock including cattle, pigs, poultry, bees, sheep, goats, and camels.
Our farmers use USSD to aggregate their goods in order to access markets and we are working on adding technical advisory services, feeds & other critical information because we want to improve the inefficiencies in the Agricultural value chain. #beikart
With the increase in chicken adulteration, which pose serious health risks to consumers and undermine trust in food safety standards, we are committed to helping ensure that your food will always be safe to eat. #Beikart
@Maina_Poultry Opening ajar the Kenyan economy to US poultry and poultry products will be a longstanding disaster for Kenyan and neighboring economies. See giant South Africa and Mexico with huge poultry production on their knees just like that. Big big mistake to regret for ever.
Kenyans, if you are a chicken farmer, especially for broilers and layers, you should worry VERY MUCH about the STIP agreement between Kenya and the USA, which will allow the import of poultry products to Kenya. Yes, the USA exports poultry products to over 150 countries, and Angola is their largest market in Africa.
So, what happens if that clause in the agreement is actualized?
The National Chicken Council's might will reign in Kenya, and due to its capacity, it will be able to supply all eateries and supermarkets in Kenya.
"The National Chicken Council supports a policy of working toward free and fair trade agreements with foreign countries, marketplaces free of protectionism and working against artificial trade barriers." This policy allows them to control big markets in Mexico, Canada, Cuba, Taiwan, Angola, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Guatemala, Colombia and the Philippines.
I am not sure whether the GoK mandarins in the Kenyan Government and those involved in the negotiations on the Kenyan side understand how much Kenyan farmers have to lose when this policy comes into effect.
This policy will not only affect Kenyans, it is going to affect Ugandans who depend on the Kenyan market. Our neighbors are loosing big in this!
Americans never do business in a loss-making environment, and Kenyans will pay for the extremely high freight charges and their production costs!
The Kenyan government is going to destroy and decimate poultry farmers in Kenya, and it is not funny or interesting.
The USA lobby is powerful, probably more powerful than a whole government, ask the South Africans, ask the Mexicans, ask all the over 150 countries it exports poultry and poultry products to; WE ARE IN DEEP SHIT!
The process;
🐔 Kitchen makes an Order through our platform
We aggregate & secure the demand
🐔 Farmers aggregate the poultry
The poultry is slaughtered and delivered to our drop-off point
🐔Collection, Delivery
The produce is packaged, weighed and delivered within 24hrs
We choose to supply poultry to commercial kitchens i.e hotel restaurants, caterers, schools, and hospitals because their orders are reliable, consistent, and predictable
Since we aggregate demand from the commercial kitchens, we empower farmers to increase their sales. Consequently, this uplifts their lives economically and enhances their overall livelihoods.
