Agriculture has been cited as having potential to create employment to the youth and women in the country. Kenya’s macro economic framework Vision 2030 whose main thrust is to transform Kenya into a middle income country by the year 2030 positions the agricultural sector as a key driver for delivering the 10 per cent annual economic growth rate envisaged under the economic pillar of Vision 2030. A key thrust of the current agricultural development strategy is to increase productivity, commercialization and competitiveness of agricultural commodities and enterprises.
