Tender Title: Consultancy Service to carry out Feasibility Study on Commercial viability of indigenous wild Fruits (WF) in kenya

Tender Number: NMK/NPI/IWF/01/2023

The "Natural Products Industry (NPI) Initiative for Kenya" is one of the flagship projects in the Kenya Vision 2030 development blueprint. This project seeks to fully harness the natural products subsector and thereby build it into a vibrant industry that will significantly contribute to national development priorities including employment and wealth creation, poverty alleviation, improved bio- diversity management and attainment of double-digit GDP growth. Hitherto, local initiatives on the IWF operate in the informal realm of the economy and, therefore, there is lack of data defining the role that they can play in the econ- omy.

The National Museums of Kenya through the Natural Products Industry (NPI) Secretariat seeks a consultant to undertake a feasibility study to investigate and provide an in-depth analysis of the commercial viability of Indigenous Wild Fruits (IWF) in Kenya. The study will focus on identifying the key elements in the IWFs value chain. The study report will guide interventions targeted at fully operationalizing this value chain into a viable business venture.
