This study intends to estimate the demand for indigenous chicken meat in Kenya, including other available meat products for comparison purposes.
Data used was collected from six counties.
A total 930 rural and urban households were sampled.
Linear Approximated Almost Ideal Demand System (LA/AIDS) model was used to obtain the demand elasticities and to examine the socioeconomic and demographic factors influencing the meat budget shares.
The results ascertain that the socio-demographic factors such as household location, the proportion of household members and the family size are important factors in explaining perceived variations in the consumption of meat products.
Indigenous chicken meat, beef and mutton, were identified as necessities.
Indigenous chicken meat and beef were identified as substitutes while indigenous chicken, goat and exotic chicken meats were complements.
In view of the high expenditure elasticities, therefore, considering a policy option that would enhance consumer income is desirable, since it will result in high consumption thereby providing more incentives for production of meat products.
The information generated would be more beneficial to the interest groups in the livestock sector as a whole.
This would be utilised in the formulation of effective policies in line with food security and poverty alleviation.
