An Italian firm, Aflabox Srl, has introduced an AI-powered tool called Aflabox that can detect aflatoxin levels in farm produce in real-time at the farm level, aiming to reduce post-harvest losses and improve food safety in Kenya.

• The new technology provides results in 30 seconds, requiring only an internet connection.
• Key stakeholders include Aflabox Srl, represented in Kenya by Aflazero, and the Cereal Millers Association (CMA).
• Aflatoxin contamination has been a significant food safety crisis, with data showing 50% of commercial flour on Kenyan shelves contaminated in 2020.
