The government has unveiled a Sh1.08 trillion agriculture investment plan that hinges on the private sector financing nearly half the cost, marking one of Kenya’s biggest bets yet on private capital to transform farming.

The five-year blueprint seeks to mobilise Sh486 billion from businesses and investors while national and county governments contribute 35 percent, reflecting shrinking fiscal space and growing pressure on public finances.
