Kenya is known for its sweet potatoes
Agriculture in Kenya is the backbone of this country’s economy. 15-17% of all land can be classified as being suitable for farming, with 7–8% being first class farmland and 80 percent accounting for agricultural output. In 2006 almost 75%. Farmers make up one half (50%) or more than 600 thousand Kenyan citizens who work full time on family owned farms ranging from coffee plantations to cornfields; providing food security when other sources fail them like drought due to its huge contribution towards GDP at 24%.
The smallholder schemes in Kenya are where most of the corn, potatoes and other crops grow. These farms can be found throughout central African country with an annual production worth around $1 billion dollars per year! The second type is public irrigation systems that have been set up by governments or international organizations like World Bank Group for example they manage water resources across large areas while giving priority access rights according to need which helps guarantee food security because even if one part may suffer there will always another available so no worries about shortages whatsoever.
The people of Kenya rely on rice as their main source for food and it's not hard to see why. In 2017, 17% or so--around one-third--was harvested from the country’s grain fields accounting for about 150 thousand metric tons that year alone with demand exceeding production by more than 100%. This gap has been filled through importation since there isn't enough domestically made goods available in stores which means if you don't live here then chances are good your dinner tonight came either straight off an airplane (because hello global market) OR via boat downriver.
Kenya is known for its sweet potatoes, but it's not the only African country that grows them. In fact in 2004 researchers from Macharia interviewed Kenyan farmers about their opinions on how best to plant and harvest these delicious tubers! They found one major difference between traditional agriculture methods versus organic - when growing mounds after trying ridges as an alternative method due t othe increased yield of larger roots with less work needed by yourself or others involved; many found this much easier without any new fertilizers/chemicals required since all you need are mulches which pest control measures against bugs wreaking havoc too!.
Kenya is a major producer and exporter of cut flowers, with roughly half concentrated around Lake Naivasha 90 kilometers northwest from Nairobi. To speed their export many Kenyan flower farms are located near this area which has led to its popularity as an arrival point for international flights due mainly in part by how close it lies within the African continent but also because there's plenty more land available than other locations like India or China where demand may be higher at any given time.

Kenya's fishing industry is an essential component of the country’s economy, supporting more than 0.5% annual GDP growth and contributing nearly 1002 million dollars annually to Kenya's gross domestic product (GDP). The two main sources for fish production in this African nation come from fresh water streams or ocean catches - with 85 percent coming through freshwater systems alone. Crustaceans make up about 20%, while diadromous & pelagics contribute around 10%. There were over 240 different types found within these categories but crustacean remains dominate overall with molluscs accounting only slightly less at 9:1.
