Kenya : Canned Fish Market
Market overview
Marine fisheries Kenya is categorized into two sub sectors the coastal artisanal fishery also
known as manual fishery and an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) fishery. Artisanal fishers are
characterized by small vessels driven by wind sails while the EEZ is characterized by Distant
Water Fishing Nations (DWFNs) who use modern fishing vessels (purse seining, long-lining).
The foreigners are licensed to fish in the Kenyan EEZ. The main species hunted by Distant
Water Fishing Nations are the highly migratory tunas including skipjack, yellow fin and bigeye
tuna. Lake Victoria produces the bulk (over 90 percent) of fish in Kenya. The dominant fish
species is Nile Perch which forms about 50 percent of the total catch by weight. This species is
used for filleting in fish processing factories. The fisheries products consumed in Kenya consist
of dried omena, fresh sun-dried tilapia and by-products of Nile perch (artisanal processed).
Generally, Kenya's capacity to process canned fish for the local and export market is under
exploited. The country imports canned fish products such as tuna, Sardines and mackerels from
the European Union and Asia. Also, the country is currently inviting processors to establish a
modern factory.
Domestic production
There are about 25 fish processing factories in the country with a total processing capacity of
25,000 tons of raw fish per year and total production of 13,500 tons per year. These companies
deal in different fish species including Nile Perch, prawns, lobsters, octopus, cuttlefish and
squids. Some of the large processors include Kenya Cold Storage, Samaki Industries Ltd,
Prisco/Midas, Wanainchi Marine Products, Victoria Nile Perch, Trans Africa fisheries ltd, East
African sea food, Sea Harvest, Crustacean processors ltd, etc. Individual factory capacity varies
from 200 Metric Tonnes to 4,800 Metric Tonnes per day. The fish is caught in Lake Victoria and
transported to these factories for filleting. Kenya has only one major tuna factory called
Wanainchi Marine Products Ltd which undertakes processing of cooked frozen tuna loins on
behalf of European fishing vessels. The company receives over about 10,000 Metric Tonnes
annually from off-shore foreign fishers along the Kenyan coastal line. Tuna Species caught
within the coastal regions include 5 species of tuna namely skipjack tuna, yellow fin tuna, bigeye
tuna, albacore tuna and the southern Bluefin tuna. According to findings by a recent marine fish
subsector study (2007), Wanainchi Marine Products requires even more raw Tuna and is willing
to provide market outlet for the artisanal fishers for an amount equivalent to 36,000 Metric
Tonnes per year to be able to process more for the European market.
Export market production
The Nile Perch accounts for 84% of the total fish exports followed by the tuna accounting for
13% while the other species account for 3%. It is important to note that despite the fact that
Kenya exports 13% of Tuna species, this is done by Wanainchi Marine Products Ltd on behalf
of European vessels. The company’s interest is in the export market and does not focus so much
on supplying processed Tuna to the local market. The catching and processing of Nile Perch in
1
Kenya has grown from a local activity into a major export industry Kenya mainly exports Nile
Perch to the European Union, Far East and Israel. The tuna loins exported from Kenya are not
fully processed. The EU (Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Portugal, Italy, France and Spain)
account for about 62% of all fish exported from Kenya. New markets have emerged, among
them Israel, the Far East, North America, the Middle East, and other African countries. Israel
became the most prominent single importer of Kenya’s fish, a position it has retained to date.
Opportunities
Canned fish product is still for the high end market and high middle class income earners. Kenya
is a developing country thus most of its population ranges from low class to lower middle class
social groups. Therefore, most people prefer to buy whole fish in the market as it is much
cheaper and readily available.
There is also a potential market in big hotels and restaurants who used canned fish and fish
products to prepare various kinds of foods on their menus.
Distribution channel
Most of the canned fish sold in the Kenya is handled by importers and distributor/brokers
for sale to the consumer via multiple outlets such as supermarkets and food stores .The
distribution of canned fish in Kenya can basically be done through linking up with direct
importers and conduct business to business trade.
Thailand interested parties may also form links with local Kenyan agents through whom they
can sell their products. In this case the agents act as intermediaries/distributors on behalf of the
exporter.

Distribution channels for exporters of canned Fish to Kenya
Direct business to business importation: Using direct importing companies is a good
distribution channel as these companies that deal with importing often have strong relationships
with their buyers and have extensive and up-to-date knowledge of the quality demands and
market trends.
Agents are also a practical channel as they act as intermediaries between the exporter and the
Kenyan market. The agents then work on a commission basis.

Programme test for exports to Kenya and should be accompanied with a Certificate of

Conclusion and recommendation
Kenya does not have the capacity to process canned fish. The only company that a process Tuna
loins targets the export market therefore there is no local supplier of canned fish. All canned fish
brands in the Kenyan market are imported as seen from the import statistics provided. The
market for Tuna is quite favourable because more and more people are consuming the product
in urban areas unlike the scenario of Mackerel fish products and sardines. It would be advisable
for Thailand exporters to concentrate on the Tuna market. The target market will be from the
middle upper class to the high class.
