MITIGATING THE NEXT WAVE OF MARKET UNCERTAINTIES:
Kenya, the Palm Oil Hub for the East Africa
|
The oil and fat industry of Kenya is actively developing. This presentation will present data on the dynamics of the Kenyan market and feature demand for palm oil and import supply in Kenya, current challenges, and opportunities.
Kenya produces less than 5% of its edible oils & fats requirements making it a net importer of vegetable oil to cater for the deficit. Kenya is a major consumer of palm oil in Sub-Saharan Africa mostly used for edible oils & soaps. Due to the demand vs local production deficit, Kenya imports most of its edible oil requirement.
My research and analysis conclude that Kenya’s demand of edible oils continues upwards as the population of 56M continues to grow at an average rate of 2% local production will still not be able to match demand and the weakening of the Kenya Shilling will affect price and demand as illustrated in my analysis.

Dear Mr. Desmond, The opportunity in the Oleo Chemical Industry is mainly in the hydrogenation and Fatty Alcohol production of Palm and its derivatives. The negative perception of palm is mainly from its nature of Palm Olein solidifying and thus creating an impression in the minds of the consumer of having cholestrol as the literacy levels in this part of the World is quite low.

The issue i have raised is not related to the propaganda but more about lack of literacy and understanding that Palm Oil does solidify in colder temperatures and thus creates an impression in the minds of the naive consumers that it is unhealthy. To add to that, no real Palm Oil characteristics marketing has happened in this part of the World and so people believe that soft oils are better and more healthy
