Aia ka Repubalika o Kenya (i kapa ʻia ʻo Kenya) ma ka ʻaoʻao hikina o ʻApelika. Holo ka equator ma waena o kona wahi waena, a holo ka East African Rift Valley mai ka ʻākau a i ke kūkulu hema. Aia kona palena me Somalia ma ka hikina, Tanzania ma ka hema, Uganda ma ke komohana, a me ʻAitiopa a me Sudan Hema ma ka ʻākau. ʻO ka huina o ka ʻāina he 583,000 kilomita kuea, me ka ʻāina mahiʻai e helu ana ma kahi o 18%. ʻO ka mahiʻai kekahi o nā kia waiwai nui ʻekolu o Kenya. I ka makahiki 2023, ua helu ka mahiʻai no 21.8% o ka GDP o ka ʻāina.
1. Ke kūlana kanu ʻana i nā mea kanu
1.1 Ke kūlana o ka mahi ʻana i nā mea kanu palaoa
ʻO ke kulina ka mea kanu nui loa ma Kenya, ʻo ia hoʻi ka nui o ka wahi kanu. ʻO ka nui o ka wahi kanu kulina ma Kenya ma mua o 2 miliona heketa, e lilo ia i mea kanu koʻikoʻi no ka hōʻoia ʻana i ka palekana meaʻai aupuni. Wahi a ka wānana a ka United States Foreign Agricultural Service, me ka hoʻi ʻana o ke aniau a me ka ua i ka maʻamau, e piʻi aʻe ka hana kulina a Kenya i ka makahiki kālā 2025/26 i 4.4 miliona tone, akā ʻo ka nui o ka wahi kanu he 2.3 miliona heketa. ʻO ka mahi kulina a Kenya ka mea nui ma nā ʻaoʻao komohana a me ka ʻākau o ka ʻāina ʻo East African Rift Valley, a hoʻonui ʻia i nā wahi kiʻekiʻe ma ke komohana a me waena. I nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ma nā wahi ulu kulina kalepa nui ma ka ʻākau o East African Rift Valley, ua neʻe ka nui o nā mahiʻai i ka ulu ʻana i nā mea kanu ʻē aʻe e like me nā avocados a me ke kō.
ʻO ka palaoa, ma ke ʻano he mea kanu meaʻai koʻikoʻi ʻē aʻe, he kūlana kūikawā ko ia i ka hana mahiʻai o Kenya. Mai ka makahiki 2020 a i ka makahiki 2023, ua noho ka ʻāina kanu palaoa ma Kenya ma luna o 100,000 heketa, akā ke emi mau nei ka ʻāina. I kēia manawa, ua kau nui ʻia ka mahi palaoa ma Narok kokoke i ka palena me Tanzania a me ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau o ka mauna ʻo Kenya. ʻO ka emi ʻana o ka ʻāina kanu palaoa ma muli paha o nā kumukūʻai mākeke a me ka maloʻo, a me nā kumu ʻē aʻe. Ua haʻalele nā mahiʻai i ka mahi palaoa a ua kanu i nā mea kanu ʻē aʻe e like me ka bale a me ka rapeseed. Ua haʻahaʻa loa ka hana palaoa o Kenya i ka mōʻaukala. Hiki ke pili kēia i ka hoʻihoʻi nui ʻana o nā mahiʻai i nā hua a me ka puka ʻana o ka pala palaoa i kēlā me kēia manawa. Eia kekahi, ua manaʻo pū nā mahiʻai i nā hua haʻahaʻa i ka emi ʻana o ka momona o ka lepo, kahi i hana ʻia e nā hoʻolimalima ʻāina i manaʻo ʻole ʻia a pōkole loa e pale ai i ka hoʻopukapuka kālā lōʻihi i ke olakino lepo. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā hoʻolimalima ʻāina ma nā wahi ulu palaoa o Kenya e hoʻohou hou ʻia i kēlā me kēia makahiki.
1.2 Ke kūlana mahiʻai waiwai
ʻO ke kofe, ma ke ʻano he mea kanu kuʻuna no Kenya, he wahi kanu kofe ma kahi o 110,000 heketa ma 33 mau wahi mahi kofe. Hāʻawi nā mahiʻai liʻiliʻi ma kahi o 70% o ka huina o ka huahana a he kia koʻikoʻi hoʻi lākou o ka hoʻokele waiwai kuaʻāina. Ua hoʻokuʻu aku ʻo Kenya i 123,000 tone o ke kofe maʻemaʻe i ka ʻAhahui ʻEulopa i nā makahiki ʻelima i hala iho nei, he 90 biliona shilinga Kenyan, ʻo ia hoʻi i nā mākeke e like me Pelekiuma, Kelemānia, Suedena, a me Pinilana. I Iulai 2025, ua hoʻopau ʻo Kenya i ka palapala ʻāina o 32,688 heketa (ma kahi o 30% o ka huina) o nā māla kofe e hoʻokō me nā lula EU hou no ka anti-deforestation.
ʻO ke kī ka mea hoʻokuʻu aku i ka mahiʻai nui loa a Kenya. Ua noho ka ʻāina kanu kī ma Kenya ma kahi o 200,000 heketa no nā makahiki he nui, me ka hana makahiki ma mua o 2.4 miliona tone, e hoʻolilo ana iā Kenya i mea hoʻokuʻu aku nui loa o ke kī ʻeleʻele ma ka honua.
Ua ulu wikiwiki ka ʻoihana avocado i nā makahiki i hala iho nei a ua lilo ia i wahi ulu hou i ka hoʻokuʻu aku i nā māla. Wahi a ka ʻikepili FAO, ke hoʻonui mau nei ka wahi kanu avocado ma Kenya. Manaʻo ʻia e hoʻonui ʻia ka wahi kanu avocado ma 6% a i 34,000 heketa ma ka makahiki 2025.
2. Ke kūlana o ka lawe mai a me ka hoʻokuʻu aku i nā pesticides
I ka makahiki 2023, ua lawe nui mai ʻo Kenya i nā pesticides mai Kina, India, Belgium, Palani a me Kelemānia, a pēlā aku. I ka wā mai 2022 a 2023, ʻo nā wahi me ka ulu wikiwiki loa o nā lawe mai pesticide mai Kenya ʻo Kina, Belgium a me Thailand. I ka makahiki 2023, ʻo nā wahi nui no nā hoʻokuʻu aku pesticide a Kenya ʻo ʻAitiopa, Uganda, Tanzania, a pēlā aku.
Mai 2020 a i 2022, ua emi ka nui o nā mea hoʻopuka pesticide ma Kenya i kēlā me kēia makahiki. I ka makahiki 2023, ua nui ka piʻi ʻana. ʻO ke kumu nui o kēia, ʻo ia ka hoʻopilikia ʻana o ke kaulahao lako honua i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka maʻi ahulau i ka makahiki 2020, kahi i hoʻopilikia ʻia e ka lohi o ka logistics a me ka pani ʻana o ke awa. Ua emi nui ka nui o nā mea hoʻopuka pesticide ma Kenya ma muli o ia mea. Me ka hoʻomaha ʻana o ka maʻi ahulau, ua hoʻōla hou ʻia ka hana ʻana o nā mea kanu (e like me ke kī, ke kofe, a me nā pua) ma Kenya, a ua piʻi ka noi no ka hoʻokuʻu aku, ka mea i hoʻoulu ai i ka piʻi ʻana o nā mea hoʻopuka pesticide. I nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ua neʻe nā kumu o nā mea hoʻopuka pesticide ma Kenya mai nā hui ʻEulopa kuʻuna i nā mea hana ʻĀsia (ʻoi aku hoʻi ʻo Kina a me India), nona nā hui hana pesticide hiki ke hana i nā pesticides generic ma nā kumukūʻai haʻahaʻa. Hoʻokele ʻia e nā mea hoʻokuʻu aku i ka mahiʻai, ua loli ka "mākeke kiʻekiʻe" o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka pesticide ma Kenya i nā pesticides ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi a me ke kaiapuni, a ua emi ke kumukūʻai no kēlā me kēia wahi o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka pesticide. Ma muli o ke kaomi waiwai kūloko, ka emi ʻana o ke kālā, a me ka pāpā ʻana i nā pesticides ʻawahia loa, ua hōʻemi nā mahiʻai maʻamau ma Kenya i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā pesticides i lawe ʻia mai me ke kumu kūʻai nui a i ʻole ua huli i nā koho ʻē aʻe i emi ke kumu kūʻai (me nā pesticides biological, nā huahana kūloko, a pēlā aku). Ua alakaʻi kēia mau kumu i ka hoʻonui ʻia ʻana o ka nui o nā pesticides i lawe ʻia mai ma Kenya i ka makahiki 2023, akā ua emi ka waiwai holoʻokoʻa o ka lawe ʻana mai.
