Egg prices are soaring in Kenya, prompting traders to urge the government to reduce taxes on poultry feed production and agricultural machinery. This move aims to lower egg costs and attract investors to the nation's poultry sector.

• Kenya faces an annual deficit of five billion eggs, requiring imports to meet demand.
• Ken Onditi, National Director of the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KNCCI), advocated for tax waivers to incentivize production.
• The KNCCI has partnered with a South African agri-investment firm to boost local egg production, leveraging modern farming technologies and offering investors access to over 1.8 million acres of government land.
