Kenya faces a severe maize shortage due to drought and its ban on genetically modified maize imports, hindering access to surplus maize from South Africa and other global suppliers. Removing these import restrictions could alleviate food insecurity and stabilise maize availability.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Foodtech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must act fast if you trade maize with Kenya. The government’s import ban on GMO maize blocks the biggest suppliers and creates a sudden shortage, opening the door to disrupt or fill this urgent gap.
