Unlocking innovation: Kenya seeks to open agricultural data to private tech developers
Agricultural data generated by public institutions spans a wide range of information, including crop production statistics, soil profiles, weather patterns, satellite imagery, pest surveillance records, input distribution data, and commodity market prices.
Kenya is preparing to open vast pools of agricultural data to private technology developers under a new policy framework aimed at accelerating the growth of digital farming tools and data-driven services across the sector.
The proposed agricultural data and digital systems framework seeks to establish clear rules for how government-held agricultural data can be accessed, shared, and used by private companies, researchers, and technology startups building solutions for farmers and agribusinesses.
