Expanding Kenya's organic sector: the AOMD project

The Accelerating Organic Market Development (AOMD) project, led by the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL), has successfully concluded after three years of advancing Kenya’s organic sector. Funded by the Leopold Bachmann Foundation, the project expanded market opportunities for farmers, enhanced the institutional capacity of the Kenya Organic Agriculture Network (KOAN), and increased consumer recognition of the Kilimohai organic mark. Its integrated approach, combining capacity building, market development, partnership building, and leadership support, strengthened the foundation for the sustainable growth of Kenya’s organic sector while opening new opportunities for organic markets in East Africa and beyond.
