Ken Meat, a processor that has found a market in Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, has built a successful business around small ruminants.

“We mainly focus on the export of livestock to the GCC [the Gulf Cooperation Council] countries. We have the capacity to handle one million goats and lambs in a year,” Willy Laboso told BDLife in an interview during the Kenya Meat Expo 2026 held at KICC in Nairobi.
