Kenya: Agricultural Biotechnology Annual
Link to report:
With the notable exception of Bt. cotton, biotech products are not allowed to be produced, imported, or marketed in Kenya. On October 30, 2024, Kenya’s High Court is expected to make a ruling on the biotechnology case challenging the production and trade in genetically engineered (GE) agricultural products. The outcome of that ruling could change acceptance of GE products in country. Bt. corn and GE cassava have completed the required stages in the regulatory process, and are awaiting the court’s decision to proceed to commercialization. The current Kenyan executive branch supports the use of genetic engineering technology to address food security and climate change challenges.
