Re-aligning Our Work Ethics To Harness Innovation
Despite the weather fragilities which are related to the impact of global warming, the agricultural sector remains one of the key drivers of Kenya’s economy and contributes almost 23 percent of the gross domestic product. Based on government statistics of 2013, the sector fetches over Ksh11 billion from the export market. Opportunities in the sector have continued evolving sometimes dramatically over the years.
