The increase in consumption of edible oils, an essential commodity, goes hand in hand with population & per capita income growth.

#KAMTakesYouThere Image
The edible oils sub-sector grew by 2.1% in 2018 (KNBS 2019). The sub-sector has a high potential to boost the manufacturing sector’s contribution to the GDP to 15% by 2022 as envisioned in the #Big4Agenda.

#KAMTakesYouThere ImageImage
The KAM Edible Oils Sub-Sector was formed in 2011 to resolve the challenges they faced in the importation of raw materials & exportation of finished products. The Sub-Sector has grown into a KSh 100 billion industry, directly employing 800 & 23,000 indirectly.

It has been a great afternoon recapping the outcomes of the First Ever Women in Manufacturing Research in Kenya #WIMKe

The #WIMReport launched earlier this month, provides viable solutions to the challenges facing Women in Manufacturing
Women face unique challenges that hinder them from entering the sector. This is why we continue to advocate for an inclusive manufacturing sector, through the establishment of policies that encourage women to be key players in value and supply chains - KAM CEO @PhyllisWakiaga
In a forum hosted by @ICRWAfrica to discuss the #WIMReport, KAM CEO @PhyllisWakiaga noted, 'Women are sidelined in the sector, with majority of industries being predominantly male-owned & staffed. Only 3 out of the 14 sectors have a female workforce of 40% & above.'

PS @IndustryKE, @DrFrancisOwino - Climate change affects all sectors of the economy. Industry relies on infrastructure & services, such as water, waste, energy & transport, & are vulnerable to disruptions caused by climate change.

#MovingToBetter
#Strides2Sustainability Image
PS @IndustryKE, @DrFrancisOwino - There is an emerging global consensus that the traditional linear manufacturing model is no longer sustainable. We need to collectively transition to the circular economy model.

#MovingToBetter
#Strides2Sustainability Image
PS @IndustryKE, @DrFrancisOwino - Planning for Green Growth & climate change adaptation & mitigation in the manufacturing sector needs to adopt a holistic, multi-sectoral approach.
