Abstract
The Government of Kenya received a loan from International Development
Association (IDA) for the implementation of Kenya Agricultural Productivity and
Agribusiness Project (KAPAP). The Ministry of Agriculture, as part of KAPAP,
intends to establish four Agro - Food Parks (AFP) with agro-processing facilities
and marketing infrastructures to assist Value Chain operators to achieve economies
of scale and market reach. As a step towards this end, the Ministry, utilizing a
portion of the KAPAP loan, has recruited a consortium of international and
Kenyan consultancy firms - Voyants Solutions Pvt. Ltd., Global Agri-systems and
Otieno Odongo Partners. The Consortium will work with the national project team
in the agribusiness component to provide technical services for the establishment
of the AFPs. The target outcome will be to fuel Agribusiness by the successful
nodal set-up of appropriate infrastructure and services for a Value Chain.
