3.1 Japan's Interest in the Kenyan Promoting the Development of Food Value Chains in Africa-Kenya Promar Consulting 3 KENYA’S FVC BY SECTOR AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR JAPAN Based on Japanese companies’ areas of interest in the Kenyan FVC, this chapter looks at opportunities in Kenya’s FVC from two viewpoints: individual sectors including crops (rice, maize), livestock and dairy farming, vegetable/fruit, flowers, and fisheries, as well as cross-sectoral industries including agricultural inputs and machinery, distribution and IT. 3.1 Japan’s interest in the Kenyan FVC 3.1.1 Overview of relevant Japanese companies The table on the next page summarizes Japanese companies’ activities related to the Kenyan FVC, as identified during this project. We classified the business activities into five groups, (i) to (v) below. Currently, there are few Japanese companies producing locally in Kenya, and Japanese companies are mainly involved in trading, as indicated the following (i) to (iii) categories. Nissin Food Products and Kikkoman are considering local production. In (iv) “investment in the service industry”, there are two cases, Toridoll in the restaurant industry and AfricaScan in the retail sectors, although both are still small in scale. Investment in local agriculture and manufacturing/processing industries, described in (v) will be a future step for Japanese companies. (i) Selling or trading finished products (processed foods, beverages, seasoning, etc.) within Kenya (exported from Japan or third countries); (ii) Selling or trading intermediate goods and capital goods (packing of fertilizer, agrichemicals, seed, facilities such as agricultural machinery, food machinery, greenhouses, etc.) for Kenya’s agricultural & marine/food sectors (export from Japan or third countries); (iii) Importing raw materials (green coffee beans, tea leaves, etc.) from Kenya and manufacturing finished products in Japan; (iv) Participation in Kenya’s service industry (distribution, fast food, logistics, IT, etc.); (v) Participation in Kenya’s agricultural, fisheries or food processing industry (establishment of company, JV, acquisition of business). The number of Japanese companies in Kenya has increased from 20 companies in 2014 to 36 companies in 2015, and in many companies the number of staff has increased.19 As examples of other sectors related to the FVC where Japan is active, Hankyu Hanshin Express, in cooperation with a local agency, conducts logistics services within EAC and warehousing for Japanese companies and Mizuho Bank entered into the Memorandum of Understanding for Business Cooperation with the Kenya Investment Authority in August 2015. This cooperation is expected to enhance the support system for Japanese 19 JETRO, 2015 53 Promoting the Development of Food Value Chains in Africa-Kenya Promar Consulting companies seeking to start businesses in Kenya.20.

Among flowers, fresh roses account for the largest volume, and fresh orchid and carnations are imported as well. In addition, many imported flowers including fresh roses, arrive in Japan via the Dutch flower market; 30 - 40% of Japan’s imported flowers from the Netherlands are reported to be produced in Kenya. In 2010, Kawasaki Flora provided the processing technique/know-how of preserved flowers, the demand for which has been increasing in Japan, and conducted a survey geared to test production for the Japanese market. After flowers, frozen Nile perch fillets from Kenya are 6% of imports. Nile perch imports have been increasing since 2012, reaching 259 tons last year. Sesame, which also represents 6% of the import value, is for oil milling use, but its trade volume fluctuates greatly in response to other countries’ production every year. Other items that

  • Consolidation in Kenya's Banking Sector to Continue, & Cytonn
    Consolidation in Kenya’s Banking Sector to Continue, & Cytonn Weekly #06/2019 Real Estate I. Industry Reports During the week, Broll Kenya, a property services company, released their Nairobi Retail Report H2’2018, which highlighted a slowdown in the retail market performance. The report noted that landlords embarked on offering rent concessions aimed at drawing tenants to their vacant spaces in addition to taking a cautionary approach by leasing smaller spaces to more than one anchor tenant, following the fall of local giant, Nakumatt Holdings, which was a sole anchor tenant in several retail spaces. The key take-outs from the report include: i. The market recorded a 5.0% increase in supply of retail space to 5.7 mn SQFT as at H2’2018, from 5.4 mn SQFT recorded in H1’2018, attributed to the opening of spaces such as The Well in Karen, which brought into the market 77,371 SQFT of space, ii. The sector recorded a 6.0% points y/y increase in occupancy rates in H2’2018, and this was mainly attributed to the take-up of space that was previously occupied by Nakumatt Supermarkets, in addition to the entry of new international retailers primarily from Europe, across the fashion, sportswear and hypermarket categories, iii. In terms of the market share of supermarkets within Nairobi, Tuskys Supermarket had the highest percentage of market share of approximately 23.0%, while Naivas and Foodplus Supermarkets came in second and third with a market share of approximately 20.0% and 11.0% in H2’2018, respectively, and, iv.
