Our dismal protein consumption suggests that there's still scope for growth locally. If anything, we should double down on exporting live animals by managing diseases and vectors. Exporting carcasses present more costly logistical challenges.

Kenya has close to a thousand slaughterhouses. Only seven meet export-grade standards. Every trade deal, every certification drive, every feedlot going up in every county runs, eventually, through a bottleneck this narrow.
