Kenya Pursues Agricultural and Economic Sector Reforms - July 2026

Kenya is aiming to revitalize its struggling pyrethrum industry with new sector reform regulations proposed for 2026, seeking to overhaul a sector that has faced significant decline in recent years. New regulations are also being implemented to revive Kenya's pigeon pea crop and boost farmers' incomes, aiming to address challenges and improve profitability of this important agricultural product. The Nairobi Securities Exchange has pledged to increase investment in Kenyan industries to stimulate growth and development within the manufacturing sector, while Mutahi Kagwe, Kenya's former Health Cabinet Secretary, has called upon Africa to unite and challenge unfair global tariffs that are stifling the continent's industrialization efforts.
