CE Agri Roundtable Report
Agriculture is the back-born of Kenya’s economy, contributing 26% of the GDP. While Kenyans undertake commercial agriculture majorly in horti- and floriculture, many families engage in subsistence farming
on their small pieces of land. The small-scale farmers sell their products and use the proceeds to buy other commodities to sustain their families. For a long time, small-scale farmers in Kenya used organic methods of farming. This has continued to change over the years as yields keep decreasing due to land degradation and
climate change.
The main objectives of the round table discussions were:
1.Raise awareness and inform the target
group on the status of current successful
developments in CE Agri/Horti in Kenya
and the relations between the
Netherlands and Kenya.
2. Discuss the vision and create a collective
vision for CE Agriculture in Kenya.
3. Discuss challenges and next steps to
grow opportunities locally and regionally.
