| dc.description | Over the past year we have been engaged in studying
various aspects of the Kenyan beef economy. Our results
are recorded in a 300 page report which will be lodged with
the Institute for Development Studies, the Ministry of
Economic Planning and Development and the Ministry of
Agriculture. However, we felt that many of the issues
which we investigated were of sufficient interest to
justify the production of a 'popular' but greatly condensed
version of our findings in the hope that it will serve as a
useful background for discussion purposes.
For those who may not be aware of the institutional and
structural aspects of the beef market in Kenya, this is a
good opportunity to briefly describe them. In practice there are three markets which overlap to a greater or lesser degree:the urban market comprising Nairobi, Mombasa, Thika and Nakuru
which is dominated by the Kenya Meat Commission (KMC), the
other urban and more populous rural areas in which an
organised market may be said to exist, and the rural
subsistance sector where it does not. We have tended to
concentrate on the first of these markets because information
on it is more readily available and KMC, as an agent of
government policy on the beef industry, plays an important
role in the development of the industry and justifies study. | |
