Modern agricultural risk management instruments

The Kenya Kwanza Government promised to deploy modern agricultural risk management instruments that ensure farming is profitable, such as was provided for scheduled crops by the Guaranteed Minimum Returns (GMR) Scheme in the 1970s.

In 2024, the government launched the DeRisking, Inclusion, and Value Enhancement (DRIVE) Project aimed at safeguarding pastoralists against severe droughts.
The government promised to establish specific minimum guarantee returns, a promise that is yet to be delivered upon, especially with regard to a reliable market for their returns.
