The Ministry of Agriculture plans to declare Galana Kalalu as a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) to enhance Kenya's agricultural potential. This move aims to attract both local and international agricultural investors, boosting the production of essential crops and improving food security.

• The Galana Kalalu project spans 1.8 million acres across Kilifi and Tana River counties.
• Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe announced this initiative on Tuesday, December 2.
• The SEZ status will provide incentives such as tax benefits, simplified regulatory approvals, and enhanced infrastructure support for investors. The government is also expanding the Land Commercialization Initiative (LCI) to utilize all idle public land, with a new LCI office facilitating investor land acquisition within one month.
