NCPB Branches form a nationwide network that supports Kenya’s food security framework. The National Cereals and Produce Board operates as a commercial state corporation under the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Cooperatives. Through its branches and depots, the institution manages strategic grain reserves, facilitates commodity trading and stabilizes agricultural markets.
NCPB Branches play a central role in maintaining national food reserves and implementing market interventions. These interventions provide farmers with reliable market outlets while protecting consumers from extreme price fluctuations. By operating storage facilities, silos and regional depots, the board strengthens agricultural supply chains across counties.
Understanding the distribution of NCPB Branches is essential for farmers, traders and stakeholders seeking storage, procurement and logistics services. Below is a structured overview of the functions and the complete list of branches and depots across Kenya.
