Agriculture & Farming

Agriculture is the backbone of Kenya — feeding families, employing millions, and driving the economy from the highlands of Kiambu to the irrigation schemes of Mwea. But farming in Kenya today looks nothing like it did a generation ago. Input costs have risen, weather patterns have shifted, and the market demands more than just quantity — it wants quality, consistency, and traceability.

Whether you’re a smallholder working half an acre or a commercial farmer scaling an agribusiness, staying informed is no longer optional. It’s the difference between a bumper harvest and a season of losses. This is why Jua Kenya covers agriculture the way it deserves — practically, honestly, and with the Kenyan farmer in mind. From soil health and pest alerts to market prices and government policy, find everything you need to farm smarter, earn more, and build something lasting.
