| description |
The Government of Kenya recognizes that
the performance of the furniture sector is crucial both to
employment and growth in the country. The Ministry of
Industrialization and Enterprise Development (MOIED)
therefore requested an analysis of both the furniture and
timber sectors, in order to understand their current state
of development, their main constraints, and the
interventions necessary to accelerate their growth. The
objective of this report is to provide a comprehensive
value-chain analysis of the Kenyan furniture industry,
including the timber sub-sector, in order to assess policy
options available to the MOIED and recommend critical
interventions to stimulate the industry’s development. By
situating Kenya’s furniture industry within the global and
regional context, this paper also aims to identify ways in
which to boost Kenya’s competiveness in the East African
markets and beyond. The analysis in this report is largely
focused on the wooden furniture sector (versus plastics,
composites, and other furniture). The bulk of Kenya’s
furniture industry is focused on wood, and Kenya has a
competitive advantage in wood relative to South Africa,
Asian countries, and Europe, which have very competitive
value chains in furniture made from other materials. |
