Kenya expects record grain harvest
Kenya’s corn harvest is projected to increase by 32% and wheat production by 27% in the 2026/27 season as the country recovers from last year’s severe drought, according to a report from the United States Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS USDA).
Corn production is projected to reach 4.5 million tonnes, while wheat production is expected to rise to 280,000 tonnes.
“The significant increase is driven by an expected return to normal rainfall, which will allow planting areas to be expanded to pre-drought levels and yields to be increased,” the FAS notes. Imports are also projected to decline, as domestic production will fill the supply gap.
The FAS increased its corn import forecast by 220% for the MY 2025/26, from 250,000 to 800,000 tonnes, to fill a critical domestic deficit created by drought-related production declines. However, this year the agency predicts a sharp drop in import volumes to 200 thousand tons.
