FAS Nairobi forecasts Kenya's corn production will remain unchanged year-on-year in marketing year (MY) 2024/25 at 3.7 million metric tons (MT) due to similar growing conditions, area harvested, and input availability. MY 2024/25 wheat imports are anticipated to increase 7.5 percent year-on-year to 2.15 million MT as demand for wheat products continues to grow alongside rising disposable incomes. Post forecasts MY 2024/25 rice production will increase to 180,000 MT due to increases in area harvested associated with the Thiba dam.
