KES 1.08 Trillion NASIP Plan Targets 2 Million Jobs by 2030

Kenya unveiled a landmark KES 1.081 trillion national blueprint to overhaul its agricultural and food systems at a high-profile summit in Nairobi this week. The National Agri-food Systems Investment Plan, known as NASIP 2026–2030, was formally launched at the Financing Agri-Food Systems Sustainably Summit — FINAS — held from June 30 to July 2, 2026. The plan targets two million jobs and positions Kenya as a regional agri-food investment destination by 2030.

NASIP 2026–2030 Unveiled at FINAS Summit

Principal Secretary Jonathan Mueke formally launched NASIP 2026–2030. The plan's KES 1.081 trillion total investment envelope — approximately USD 8.4 billion over four years — is the largest single agri-food investment programme Kenya has ever produced. Financing is structured to blend public and private capital: the national government has committed 35%, private sector players are targeted to contribute 45%, and international development partners are expected to supply the remaining 20%. Key investment priorities include irrigation infrastructure expansion, climate-smart agricultural technologies, farmer cooperatives, and digital tools for market access.

What Comes Next

Following the FINAS Summit, the Ministry of Agriculture is expected to publish the full NASIP investment prospectus and open formal consultations with county governments, farmer federations, and private investors.
