The agriculture sector plays an extremely important economic role in Kenya.

It employs more than 40 per cent of the total population and contributes 30 per cent to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In 2020, the World Bank reported a significant rise in new challenges while important investment opportunities arise. This has contributed significantly to an increased interest by youths to invest in the sector.
