The Poultry sub sector is one of most important livestock enterprises particularly in the rural households where over 70% of the country’s population lives. It is an important source of food, income and employment and is therefore an important source of livelihood to over 80% of the rural people (a majority of whom are women). Despite its immense contribution and potential, the sub sector has continued to be constrained by various challenges such as low quality breeding stock, diseases, poor market access and infrastructure.
In view of the above, Winrock International under the Partnership of Safe Poultry Production in Kenya (PSPK) programme, organized a one day seminar aimed at addressing the issue of access to markets. The workshop was held in Nairobi and was attended by producers, traders and private service providers drawn from all over Kenya.
