In my opinion, agriculture should be at the heart of Kenya’s economic recovery strategy. The government, private sector, and development partners must collaborate to create an enabling environment for agricultural growth. This includes investing in research and development, improving rural infrastructure, and ensuring that farmers have access to markets both locally and internationally.
Moreover, there should be a focus on value addition in agriculture. By processing raw agricultural products into finished goods, Kenya can increase its export earnings, create jobs, and reduce the reliance on imported goods. This will not only enhance the sector’s contribution to the economy but also provide a pathway for industrialization and economic diversification.
