FAQs
Where does Morocco import eggs?
Kenya has a well-developed domestic shell egg industry that meets a significant share of local demand. However, it continues to import processed egg products—primarily powdered and liquid eggs—to support its expanding food manufacturing, bakery, and institutional foodservice sectors.
Top sources of egg imports for Kenya:
- India & China – Key suppliers of competitively priced powdered eggs used in bakery and industrial applications.
- Netherlands & Germany – European suppliers of high-quality processed eggs, often certified to global food safety and Halal standards.
- Brazil & United States – Non-EU countries that provide shelf-stable and certified egg products used in high-volume food manufacturing.
- South Africa – A regional trade partner for processed and value-added egg products, particularly in SADC and COMESA trade contexts.
Eggs Unlimited partners with fully certified producers and Kenyan importers to supply traceable, regulatory-compliant egg products that support Kenya’s growing food economy.

Why does Kenya Import Eggs?
While Kenya’s local egg farms fulfill retail demand for shell eggs, imports play an essential role in meeting the needs of the food processing, hospitality, and manufacturing sectors.
Key reasons for imports:
- Industrial food production
Bakeries, confectioners, and food manufacturers depend on powdered and liquid eggs for efficiency, consistency, and safety. - Shelf stability and distribution
Powdered eggs offer long shelf life and are ideal for Kenya’s climate and regions with limited cold chain infrastructure. - Standardization and hygiene
Pasteurized egg products meet the food safety requirements demanded by Kenya’s formal processing sector. - Certification and export compliance
Food companies serving the Kenyan retail and export markets increasingly require ingredients with Halal, ISO 22000, or HACCP certifications.
What makes eggs in Kenya compliant?
Egg products imported into Kenya must meet the regulatory requirements of national authorities, with a focus on food safety, proper documentation, and accurate product labeling.
Regulatory authorities:

- Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS) – Involved in food safety and product inspection for agricultural goods.
- Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) – Manages customs clearance, duties, and import classification.
Required documentation:
- Veterinary Health Certificate (from country of origin)
- Certificate of Origin
- Certificate of Conformity (COC) – often issued pre-export via KEBS-approved agents
- Microbiological and chemical test reports

- Commercial invoice and packing list

How much do eggs cost in Kenya?

Foreign exchange rates and international freight costs impact the landed price of imported egg products. - Product format and certification
Powdered eggs and certified products (e.g., Halal, Organic) carry premium pricing due to processing and compliance costs. - Tariffs and inspection fees
