About
The Kenya Agricultural Market Information System (KAMIS) provides market and trade information to farmers, traders, processors, and other agricultural stakeholders across Kenya. The system helps users make better marketing and trading decisions.
KAMIS was developed to improve access to early warning, marketing, and trade information. As a result, it supports more efficient and competitive food trade between surplus and deficit regions.
Users can access real-time market information through mobile phones and computers. In addition, KAMIS provides national coverage across all 47 counties. The system monitors five markets in each county, giving users access to market information from different parts of the country.
KAMIS covers more than 150 agricultural products from the agriculture, livestock, and fisheries sectors. The system captures market quantities and prices at wholesale, retail, and farm-gate levels. Therefore, users can compare prices and assess market conditions before making trading decisions.
For farmers, KAMIS provides useful information when planning where and when to sell produce. Traders and processors can also use the data to assess prices and supply conditions. Overall, KAMIS improves access to timely agricultural market information and supports more informed decisions across Kenya’s food and agricultural value chains.
