The Kenya Meat Commission (KMC) was formed in 1950 through an act of parliament with an objective of providing a ready market for livestock farmers and providing high quality meat and meat products to consumers. It is a public institution and by far the oldest and the most experienced meat processor in Kenya and the larger East African region.
KMC was re-opened on 26th June, 2006 after 15 years of closure with the objective of promoting the meat industry in Kenya, both domestic and for export. It was expected that with its huge capacity, it would complement government efforts in Kenya’s economic recovery.
Kenya Meat Commission has a huge production capacity and infrastructure. It has a slaughter capacity of 1,250 large animals per day and 2,000 small stocks per day.

KMC has a fully established Livestock Department that oversees procurement of raw materials (livestock) and delivery of the same to the factory.
