Is Farming in Kenya Profitable?

Do farmers owe the nation food or do they owe themselves a profit? Should youths join the farming craze? Our country is primarily agricultural as it contributes about 26 per cent of Kenya’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), another 27 per cent of GDP indirectly through linkages with other sectors and value addition. The sector employs more than 40 percent of Kenya’s 30 million adults and more than 70 percent of Kenya's rural people.
