This Morning, Principal Secretary, State Department for Agriculture, Dr. Kipronoh Ronoh Paul, CBS, joined Deputy President, Professor Kithure Kindiki at his official residence in Karen, Nairobi City County, during a strategic meeting to assess the progress of Kenya’s agricultural transformation. The revitalization of tea, coffee, rice, sugar, dairy, horticulture, nuts, cotton, and edible oils remains central to advancing the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA) and strengthening the nation’s economic foundation.
Discussions focused on modernizing infrastructure, including transport networks, electricity supply, ICT connectivity, and water access, to enhance efficiency in agricultural production. The government is also strengthening value addition in tea and coffee to boost export revenues while prioritizing sustainable agronomic practices to improve market competitiveness for key crops. Additionally, a robust monitoring framework ensures alignment with the Kenya Kwanza Plan, delivering measurable benefits to farmers, stakeholders, and the broader economy.
This initiative is a bold commitment to food security, economic growth, and sustainable agricultural systems that will shape Kenya’s future. #BETAKILIMO #DeliveringThePlan
