Evolution of Kenya’s Maize Marketing Systems in the Post-Liberalization Era

Author(s):  Nyoro,James;Mathenge,Mary;Jayne,Thomas

Introduction

The objectives of this paper thus are fourfold:
(1) identify the pattern of private sector investment
in the maize marketing system since the reforms were initiated and evaluate the extent of private
sector response to the reforms;
(2) assess how maize prices and marketing margins have changed
in response to the market reforms;
(3) identify market-oriented mechanisms that have evolved in
the current environment to reduce vulnerability of farmers, traders and consumers to price and
expenditure instability; and
(4) identify strategies that the government and private sector could
implement to effectively promote the development of the evolving market oriented food systems.
