The organic inputs sector comprising bio-fertilisers, organic pesticides and related products, is a key lever for economic growth and improving the sustainability and resilience of Kenya's food systems.
The current global shift toward sustainable agriculture has accelerated the demand for organic inputs, driven by concerns over soil health, climate change, and food safety.
In comparison to other African countries, the organic fertiliser sub-sector in Kenya is fairly advanced.
In developing and emerging economies, this transition presents a significant opportunity for entrepreneurs and small and medium enterprises (SMEs), yet businesses operating in this sector often face regulatory, financial, and infrastructural hurdles.
