Building a better future for smallholder farmers on Kenya's coast.

About Afrifama

Every farmer deserves more than a hope.

Farm visit with written notes and a conversation outside a poultry house.

Picture a smallholder farmer on Kenya's coast. She wakes before sunrise, feeds her birds, and hopes the season is kind. She has the will and the work ethic. What she often does not have is financing for inputs, support when something goes wrong, or a reliable place to sell. So every flock is a gamble, and every loss lands on her family.

WHY AFRIFAMA EXISTS

Strong farms need more than effort.

Quality birds, dependable feed, affordable inputs, technical support, finance and usable farm data must work together. Afrifama is connecting these parts into one commercial poultry system built around the farmer.

Generated storytelling illustration · the challenges farmers face
  1. Adult smallholder farmer in his early-to-mid thirties inspecting a chick on his coastal Kenyan poultry farm

    01

    Unreliable access to quality birds

    The right birds are not always available at the right time or scale.

  2. Adult smallholder farmer in his early-to-mid thirties checking poultry feed beside his flock

    02

    Inconsistent feed quality

    Variable nutrition affects growth, egg production and farm margins.

  3. Adult smallholder farmer in his early-to-mid thirties reviewing the costs of feed and egg production

    03

    High input costs

    Feed and essential inputs consume most of a small flock’s revenue.

  4. Adult smallholder farmer in his early-to-mid thirties carrying farm records to discuss production finance

    04

    Limited production finance

    Farmers ready to grow struggle to finance a complete production cycle.

  5. Technical-support officer demonstrating a poultry health check to an adult smallholder farmer

    05

    Fragmented technical support

    Practical guidance works best when it continues throughout the production cycle.

  6. Adult smallholder farmer and an Afrifama technical-support officer reviewing farm data together

    06

    Disconnected farm data

    Scattered records make it difficult to track performance and act early.
