State of the World 2012

Abstract

In August 2011 the first outpost of the American fast-food chain KFC, famous for its fried chicken, opened in Nairobi, and hundreds of Kenyans waited in line for more than an hour to get in. KFC could only enter the market, its executives say, after resolving supply chain issues. KFC’s chicken will come from Kenchic, a large domestic producer with industrial-style poultry sheds in Mlolongo, not far from Nairobi’s city center.1
