Kenya is facing a severe agricultural crisis due to a deepening drought, affecting 22 counties, including traditional food baskets. The lack of expected short rains has led to widespread crop failures and significant economic distress across the agricultural supply chain.

• Over 22 counties in Kenya are hard-hit by the current drought, leading to significant agricultural failures.
• The Kenya Meteorological Department's inaccurate forecasts for "enhanced short rains" led farmers to plant, resulting in total crop loss when rains failed.
• Companies like Elgon Kenya are promoting climate-resilient technologies, including irrigation systems and drone technology, to help farmers adapt.
