About the partnership

Animal Production Related
Kenya

Homerange Poultry Kenya (HPK) is a youth-led business with diversified roles in farmer-training, chicken breeding, commercial-feed production, and marketing of poultry products in the indigenous chicken value chain. More specifically, the business supplies day-old and month-old KARI improved local chicken, expertly bred and managed to ensure superior-quality mature chicken and eggs that are highly nutritious to consumers. HPK also produces commercial poultry feeds formulated to meet the KARI improved local chicken breed requirements and conducts monthly farmer trainings to ensure proper management of the indigenous chicken.

Inclusive business idea description
This partnership seeks to scale up HPK’s Sustainable Local Chicken Production and Marketing Model (SLCPM), an out-grower program that connects small-holder poultry farmers who supply HPK with mature chicken and/or eggs to markets. The model brings together different actors in the indigenous poultry value chain -with HPK as the Lead Partner- with an aim of promoting youth and women inclusion and increasing incomes of small-holder farmers. This will in turn contribute to poverty reduction, and increased food safety and security. 2SCALE will also team up with HPK in mobilizing and training small-holder farmers in commercial production of indigenous chicken, facilitate linkages with financial institutions and other input providers, and assist in the development and marketing of poultry products to the BoP markets.
