Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Demand for poultry products is on the rise and is driven by an emerging middle-class created in existing and new urban settlements.<\/p>\n

To feed the appetite, an estimated 1.5 million birds are slaughtered weekly from a population of some 35 million fowls to meet the demand.<\/p>\n

The development is opening massive employment opportunities, especially in rural areas with huge untapped potential.<\/p>\n

This is according to HPP Exhibitions which is organising the Kenya Poultry Expo, slated for May 23-25, 2023, at the Sarit Centre, Nairobi.<\/p>\n

On show will be the latest technologies and practices of poultry farming covering production, genetics, nutrition, feed, health, operations, cost management and other critical factors for successful investment in the sector.<\/p>\n

HPP is the organisers of the world\u2019s best flower show, IFTEX, an annual flower industry show that takes place in Nairobi.<\/p>\n

Exhibition manager Michelle Mwangi says contrary to popular belief only chicken is reared for commercial purposes, turkeys, geese, guinea fowls and the \u2018infamous\u2019 quail are delicacies in poultry farming.<\/p>\n

In the chicken category, 75 per cent is indigenous, 22 per cent is broilers and layers and 1 per cent is breeding stock.<\/p>\n

Due to the high demand and resilience of kienyeji chicken, the market has seen a number of varieties led by the Kenya Agriculture and Livestock Organisation bred improved Kienyeji, Kuroilers, Rainbow, Rooster Kenbro and Sasso among others.<\/p>\n

While chicken is every farmer’s choice, turkey earns more money and is a bird with a rising demand at the consumer end, added Mwangi.<\/p>\n

“The shift to white meat due to health concerns has fueled a sharp increase in demand for poultry products, necessitating the need for an exhibition to showcase the various bird rearing technologies and practices required for a successful venture,\u201d Mwangi said.<\/p>\n

\u201cA growing retail sector with food branches, fast food outlets, and restaurants has created a readily available outlet for chicken and eggs completing the chain and fueling the demand.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wish to bring together players in the poultry industry under one roof to give the country a chance to share the emerging technologies in the sector and to put the industry into perspective as a key player in the country\u2019s economy.”<\/p>\n
