Kenya recorded impressive performance in agriculture, forestry and fishing in the year 2017, accounting for about 22 per cent, followed by manufacturing at 11 per cent of the GDP. Annual growth rate is estimated to average slightly more than 5 per cent. Kenya is considered as one of the fastest growing economies in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).
