Kenya is the world's 3rd largest exporter of cut flowers

 Agriculture in Kenya is the backbone of its economy. Almost 75% percent or more than two-thirds, even seventy five percent are made up from people who farm for their living with less than tenpercent coming from other sources including fishing and forestry which contribute greatly to this mostly agricultural community as well!



In 2005 alone we produced 24billion Kenyan shillings worth (KES) thanks largely due primarily at least partly because farmers were able produce enough food through intensive farming methods that helped lower prices worldwide while still managing a steady income via increased output rather then relying solely off selling off what they could not distribute easily themselves otherwise would have been lost forever.


Kenya's agriculture sector is one of the most important economic forces in this East African country. Less than 8 percent (or 24 million) land are used for crop production while less than 20%(lessly 1/5th)is suited to cultivation; yet it produces some very valuable goods like tea and coffee as well as fresh produce such cabbages onions mangoes bananas corn potatoes beans peas chilli peppers... The smallholder schemes account for about half or 55%,the centrally managed public works 22%, private / commercial irrigation 7%.


Rice is one of the most important crops in Kenya. It makes up 17% percent to total harvested area and provides 150 thousand metric tons per year, but there's a serious shortage because production only meets 20%. Some people produce small quantities along river valleys especially when they have access for irrigation schemes which can be expensive-up here it costs around $500 USD monthly.


Organic farming in Kenya includes crop rotation, and mulches to control pests. According the Food And Agriculture Organization of United Nations (FAO) there is no percentage certified organic cropland yet farmers still use these methods despite having difficulties with reaching high yields due largely from excessive rainfall that causes frequent floods which damages farmland annually.


Kenya is the world's 3rd largest exporter of cut flowers. Roughly half (50%)of Kenya’s 127 flower farms are concentrated around Lake Naivasha, 90 kilometers northwest off Nairobi City Center towards its border with Uganda to Speed Their Export--Nairobi airport has a terminal dedicated solely for transportation and distribution purposes related specifically t Flotilla Services; which handles roughly 500 metric tons annually according The Kenyans Make Up 30 To 35% Of All Flowers Auctioned In Europe.


The fishing industry provides vital food and economic stability for many Kenyans. A recent study found that about 90% of households in the country rely on this subsector as a source, with fresh water accounting for 85%. The two most common types are crustaceans (such as prawns) and other freshwater fish like carp or catfish; there's also some Atlantic salmon farming going on along with processors taking advantage of their high productivity: these boneless wonders make up 40%. The rise  has been fueled largely due to increased demand - particularly by Asian countries looking towards Africa both.
