    Module1: Structure of Agriculture and Agricultural Policies Lesson 3: Agricultural Policies in Kenya
TYPES OF AGRICULTURAL POLICIES IN KENYA



First let us consider policies on agriculture in a general way. There are various policies,
acts and session papers that guide food production in Kenya. Since 2003, there been
much activity in an attempt to revitalize Kenyan agriculture. Here is a selective list of just
some of the agricultural policies recently generated or under consideration. (Source:
Gitau R et al.,2008. http://www.tegemeo.org/documents/work/Wp34-Agricultural-Policy-
Making-Africa-Kenya-Past-Policies.pdf )

.




    National Potato Industry Policy 2005
    The objectives of this policy were to raise productivity in the industry through the
    provision of appropriate technology and services; develop and implement processes
    that will lead to increased empowerment of growers and other stakeholders; and
    develop and promote the use of standard packaging and weight measures which was
    put at 100 kgs per bag. However, the Kenya Potato Farmers Association
    (KENAPOFA) successfully lobbied and persuaded the Ministry of Local Government
    to stand behind the Gazette Notice and have the Minister stipulate in Legal Notice
    No. 113, the maximum size of bags in which potatoes can be bought. KENAPOFA
    officials are now also recognized enforcement officers. The Legal Notice requires all
    Local Authorities to enforce the maximum size (110 kgs) standard bag for potatoes.

    Sessional Paper on Soil Fertility and a Bill on Fertilizers and Soil Conditioners, 2006.
    This was to regulate of the importation, exportation, manufacture and sale of
    fertilizersand soil conditioners. The Policy on soil fertility and Bill, 2006, were
    subjected to stakeholders’ analysis.

    The National Biotechnology and Development Policy, 2006
    The policy addresses various issues with regards to capacity building and resource
    mobilization, financial and business support, public protection and support, public
    education awareness and access to information with regards to biotechnology,
    regional and international collaboration and ethical issues.

    Dairy Development Policy 2006
    The objective was to correct previous government policies which were unsupportive
    of small-scale farmers, traders and consumers who constituted a large proportion of
    the market. The new dairy policy now openly acknowledges the role of informal milk
    markets in the development of the sector and will help to legitimize small-scale milk
    traders, subject to them being trained and certified in milk hygiene.
                                                                                                                    Page 27




             Module1: Structure of Agriculture and Agricultural Policies Lesson 3: Agricultural Policies in Kenya

process is being led by ASARECA and the policy is in the process of being developed.

liberalized regime. A draft policy and bill were finalized and included in the performance
contract for 2007/8.

Conclusion



From the review of agricultural policies, you should have seen that they are designed to
improve production across the board. Many of them identify support structures to
farmers. Support ranges from organizing credit for farmers, aiding production,
marketing as well as setting up extension officers whose task it is to provide help and
advice at grass roots levels

  • 3. TYPES OF AGRICULTURAL POLICIES IN KENYA First let us consider policies on agriculture in a general way. There are various policies, acts and session papers that guide food production in Kenya. Since 2003, there been much activity in an attempt to revitalize Kenyan agriculture. Here is a selective list of just some of the agricultural policies recently generated or under consideration. (Source: Gitau R et al.,2008. http://www.tegemeo.org/documents/work/Wp34-Agricultural-Policy- Making-Africa-Kenya-Past-Policies.pdf ) . National Potato Industry Policy 2005 The objectives of this policy were to raise productivity in the industry through the provision of appropriate technology and services; develop and implement processes that will lead to increased empowerment of growers and other stakeholders; and develop and promote the use of standard packaging and weight measures which was put at 100 kgs per bag. However, the Kenya Potato Farmers Association (KENAPOFA) successfully lobbied and persuaded the Ministry of Local Government to stand behind the Gazette Notice and have the Minister stipulate in Legal Notice No. 113, the maximum size of bags in which potatoes can be bought. KENAPOFA officials are now also recognized enforcement officers. The Legal Notice requires all Local Authorities to enforce the maximum size (110 kgs) standard bag for potatoes. Sessional Paper on Soil Fertility and a Bill on Fertilizers and Soil Conditioners, 2006. This was to regulate of the importation, exportation, manufacture and sale of fertilizersand soil conditioners. The Policy on soil fertility and Bill, 2006, were subjected to stakeholders’ analysis. The National Biotechnology and Development Policy, 2006 The policy addresses various issues with regards to capacity building and resource mobilization, financial and business support, public protection and support, public education awareness and access to information with regards to biotechnology, regional and international collaboration and ethical issues. Dairy Development Policy 2006 The objective was to correct previous government policies which were unsupportive of small-scale farmers, traders and consumers who constituted a large proportion of the market. The new dairy policy now openly acknowledges the role of informal milk markets in the development of the sector and will help to legitimize small-scale milk traders, subject to them being trained and certified in milk hygiene.

  • 4. Sessional Paper and Bill to Amend the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) Act, Cap 338 Sessional paper and Bill to amend the National Cereals and Produce Board was developed in 2007. The paper and Bill develops a comprehensive policy and legal framework that clearly outline the role of government in ensuring food security. Cassava Policy The policy is aimed at promotion and development of traditional food crops. This process is being led by ASARECA and the policy is in the process of being developed. Nut Crops Development Policy and Bill The purpose is to provide a legal and regulatory framework for the nut industry in a liberalized regime. A draft policy and bill were finalized and included in the performance contract for 2007/8. Kenya Plant and Health Inspectorate Services (KEPHIS) Bill This bill aimed at incorporating KEPHIS under an Act of parliament. The draft bill was included in the 2007/8 performance contract. Also consult the ASDS document from the course CD ROM under Resources Index | Module 1 | Lesson 3 Activity 1 Policy types 1. List the objectives of all the policies in order to make comparisons and to identify their scope. 2. Place into the same group, policies that have a similar purpose. 3. Make a one page report on your general impressions on the policies. Page 28 Module1: Structure of Agriculture and Agricultural Policies Lesson 3: Agricultural Policies in Kenya
  • 5. CREDIT, PRODUCTION, MARKETING AND EXTENSION POLICIES This part of the lesson looks at the four policies in more detail, namelyRural Financial Services in Kenya: What is Working and Why?,Trends in Regional Agricultural Productivity in Kenya, Kenya Agricultural Marketing and Policy Analysis Project, and will allow for a better feel of the policies in how they are translated into various actions. These include financing, production, marketing and general assistance from agricultural officials in the field.
