Omena in Kenya
About This Catch
Omena (Rastrineobola argentea), the Lake Victoria silver cyprinid — sold sun-dried or fresh, and the most affordable animal protein in the region by a wide margin. Small, silver and eaten whole, bones and all, which is what makes it exceptionally rich in calcium, iron and omega-3s; it is a staple in school feeding programmes and household diets across western Kenya. Dried omena keeps for months without refrigeration and is traded by the kilo or the sack; fresh omena needs cold storage within hours of landing. Bought in volume by traders, aggregators and animal-feed processors, and increasingly by nutrition programmes sourcing at scale. Currently 400 kg available across 5 certified storage facilities.

5 locationsCommon Questions
- Do you sell dried or fresh omena?
- Both. Dried omena keeps for months without refrigeration and is traded by the kilo or the sack. Fresh omena needs cold storage within hours of landing and is available from facilities near the lake.
- Can I buy omena in bulk?
- Yes. Bulk is the standard trade for omena — buyers are typically traders, aggregators, feed processors and nutrition programmes sourcing at scale.
- Why is omena considered so nutritious?
- It is eaten whole, bones included, which makes it exceptionally high in calcium, iron and omega-3 fatty acids. That is why it features in school feeding programmes across western Kenya.
