Benefits of investing in agricultural land for sale Kenya

Agriculture in Kenya dominates Kenya’s economy. Approximately 15-17% of Kenya’s total land area has sufficient fertility and rainfall to be farmed. 7-8% of this can be classified as first class land. Kenya is the leading producer of coffee and tea as well as the third largest exporter of fresh produce such as cabbages, onions and mangoes. Small farms grow most of the corn and also produce potatoes, bananas and peas. Despite all these produce and the favorable weather conditions, about a half of Kenya’s total agricultural output is subsistence production, meaning that it is produced for consumption. This means that the agricultural sector in Kenya is not reaping its maximum potential. This means that serious investors need to come into the agricultural sector and invest in agricultural land for sale Kenya.

Investors in farming and agricultural activities are likely to reap benefits that come with Kenya’s bilateral ties with several other nations across the globe. These include reduced taxes in farm products and easy policies enabling investors from Kenya to easily access other foreign markets. Thus investors are capable of getting readily available large scale markets for their produce.
