Agriculture is the mainstay of Kenya’s economy and accounts for a third of the country’s GDP and 65 percent of Kenya’s total export earnings.
The sector employs more than 40 percent of the total population and more than 70 percent of Kenya's rural workforce and provides about 18 percent of total formal employment.
