Kenya’s agriculture sector up on government’s priority list

In the words of Wikipedia, Agriculture is, “the cultivation of animals, plants, fungi, and other life forms for food, fiber, biofuel, medicines and other products used to sustain and enhance human life.”

Of late, many developed as well as developing economics have come to realize the potential that their agriculture sectors hold. And with this realization, the governments have started strengthening their agriculture policies and opening ways to make their people skilled enough to enter the sector and capitalize on the opportunities that the sector has to offer.

Kenya is one such fine example of a country that has been putting tremendous focus on its agriculture sector’s development.

In a bit to train its people for various agriculture related roles, Kenyan government is introducing agriculture friendly policies and schemes. The key stakeholders, such as corporates, are also partnering with training specialists who can conduct agriculture sales training in Kenya to add value to the entire agriculture value chain.
   
It is to be noted that a standard agriculture sales training in Kenya program can be customized to improve the productivity of farm agents and seed distributors. Many other training programs can be designed and developed to cater to the specific needs of key stakeholders of the sector.

Agriculture already makes a significant portion of Kenya’s annual revenues. And with these new initiatives, Kenya’s government has shown its commitment towards a wholesome agricultural development. It just needs to introduce more polices and schemes to boost the sector and engage with the right partners for successful implementation and execution of those schemes.
