The Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA) has reopened the harvesting and trading of locally produced macadamia from February 1, 2026, after a mid-season survey showed that a significant share of the crop has reached maturity.
The move lifts a seasonal closure that had taken effect on December 1 last year, and which was initially set to run until February 15, 2026, as part of efforts to safeguard kernel quality and protect Kenya’s reputation in premium export markets.
