Kenya is well known agricultural giant - despite being 89% Arid and Semi-Arid. We don't do maize, millet, cassava, sorghum and such useless crops anymore - but are transitioning into high-value crops. We will leave Nigeria and Tanzania to produces all those useless cereals and garb..for cheap. And even if you don't starve - such kind of foods - can never meet your calorific needs - and you end up physical and mental stunted like the average Tanzanian or Nigerian.

For example last year:Kenya overtakes South Africa to become Africa's biggest exporter of avocados
Kenya's impressive volumetric growth rate per year and access to new markets have helped the country to overtake South Africa as the number one exporter of avocados from Africa. The East African country became the largest exporter of avocados in Africa in 2017, exporting a record volume of 51,507 tons to the world. South Africa, traditionally the lead exporter of the world fruit from the Agriculture-rich continent, relinquished the position and trailed Kenya for the first time ever in history with 43,492 tons.

rvp2018:
While you are busy producing useless yams, sorghums and millet (check your MALNURTITION RATE....Kenya is producing vegetables and fruits that are dominating grocery stores of Europe.

NAIROBI, Feb 12 (Reuters) - Kenya earned 153.68 billion shillings ($1.53 billion) from horticulture exports in 2018, 33 percent higher than 115.32 billion shillings a year earlier, according to a joint statement by three industry bodies issued on Tuesday.

Flowers earned 113.17 billion shillings, compared with 82.25 billion shillings in 2017, while vegetables fetched 27.69 billion shillings as against 24.06 billion shillings, said the statement by the Kenya Flower Council, Fresh Produce Exporters Association of Kenya and the Fresh Produce Consortium.

Fruits earned 12.83 billion shillings as against 9 billion shillings in the previous year, it added. ($1 = 100.4000 Kenyan shillings) (Reporting by Omar Mohammed; Editing by George Obulutsa)

Nowonder you guys skinny and die of starvation

Although it depends heavily on the oil industry for its budgetary revenues, Nigeria is predominantly still an agricultural society. Approximately 70 percent of the population engages in agricultural production at a subsistence level. Agricultural holdings are generally small and scattered. Agriculture provided 41 percent of Nigeria's total gross domestic product (GDP) in 1999. This percentage represented a normal decrease of 24.7 percent from its contribution of 65.7 percent to the GDP in 1957. The decrease will continue because, as economic development occurs, the relative size of the agricultural sector usually decreases.

Nigeria's wide range of climate variations allows it to produce a variety of food and cash crops . The staple food crops include cassava, yams, corn, coco-yams, cow-peas, beans, sweet potatoes, millet, plantains, bananas, rice, sorghum, and a variety of fruits and vegetables. The leading cash crops are cocoa, citrus, cotton, groundnuts (peanuts), palm oil, palm kernel, benniseed, and rubber. They were also Nigeria's major exports in the 1960s and early 1970s until petroleum surpassed them in the 1970s. Chief among the export destinations for Nigerian agricultural exports are Britain, the United States, Canada, France, and Germany.

A significant portion of the agricultural sector in Nigeria involves cattle herding, fishing, poultry, and lumbering, which contributed more than 2 percent to the GDP in the 1980s. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization 1987 estimate, there were 12.2 million cattle, 13.2 million sheep, 26.0 million goats, 1.3 million pigs, 700,000 donkeys, 250,000 horses, and 18,000 camels, mostly in northern Nigeria, and owned mostly by rural dwellers rather than by commercial companies. Fisheries output ranged from 600,000 to 700,000 tons annually in the 1970s. Estimates indicate that the output had fallen to 120,000 tons of fish per year by 1990. This was partly due to environmental degradation and water pollution in Ogoniland and the Delta region in general by the oil companies.

Decline in agricultural production in Nigeria began with the advent of the petroleum boom in the early 1970s. The boom in the oil sector brought about a distortion of the labor market. The distortion in turn produced adverse effects on the production levels of both food and cash crops. Governments had paid farmers low prices over the years on food for the domestic market in order to satisfy urban demands for cheap basic food products. This policy, in turn, progressively made agricultural work unattractive and enhanced the lure of the cities for farm workers. Collectively, these developments worsened the low productivity, both per unit of land and per worker, due to several factors: inadequate technology, acts of nature such as drought, poor transportation and infrastructure, and trade restrictions.

As food production could not keep pace with its increasing population, Nigeria began to import food. It also lost its status as a net exporter of such cash crops as cocoa, palm oil, and groundnuts. According to U.S. Department of State FY2001 Country Commercial Guide, Nigeria's total food and agricultural imports are valued at approximately US$1.6 billion per year. Among the major imports from the United States are wheat, sugar, milk powder, and consumer-ready food products.

Efforts since the late 1970s to revitalize agriculture in order to make Nigeria food self-sufficient again and to increase the export of agricultural products have produced only modest results. The Obasanjo administration, however, has made agriculture the highest priority of its economic policy.

Produce better healthy foods and not that tea, flowers and avocado nonsese.

Then why are you complaining it pains you that people are riding Ferrari and Bugatti in our country. Go and die Pained pig, Nigeria is not the cause of your frustration

sufferNsmiling:
in Nigeria out of 1 million Nigerians less than 1000 achievers. The rest are illiterate and criminal worshippers

What about you starving idiots. Don't you have criminals in your useless country. Your useless leaders are even the main criminals in the world. Foolish kiberan

sufferNsmiling:
Let me tell you something you are so so stupid to believe I was a Nigerian you are so so stupid to believe I have even been to Nigeria here in Europe I have a lot of Nigerian friends and they inform me everything about Nigeria. If you read the book Art of War you will know you fight the enemy where they aren't.

You're the most useless person I have ever seen in my life since I was born. Foolish stinky animal talking nonsense. Useless frustrated sufferNdying zombie

samorobo:
You are mad.
That your list is useless.
Nigeria current literacy rate is 70%

The idiot didn't show us the complete list. There is in that list that the big fool ignored

samorobo:
Stupid criminals.
We will keep catching them and deporting them back
Tylann I think that I might need to borrow your immigration officer so he can lecture is on how we will treat your fellow criminal citizen that comes to engage in crime here in Nigeria.
Mind you I have screenshoted this

Our security are not smiling this days. They catch anybody who commit crime! That's why it's hard for other foreigners to commit crime in Nigeria. Go to Instagram, search on Instablog9ja you will see how our security are working. They're catching foreigners that are commiting everyday in our country

samorobo:
Don't engage that one again.
I just discovered that he is a demon of progress
He only likes bad news where he can use that silly emoticon ( ).
Nigeria progress must really be giving him tough time, I mean look at him saying that Apapa road has not been constructed.

the idiot is only jealous because he knows that, their useless country can never come close to Nigeria on development

samorobo:
I am sure you heard where you reporter said that nairobi is one of the worst places to drive in the world.
Do you know what I am downloading this video because of that single statement.
Go and develop your transport system and stop living in the stone age.
The world is advancing you know

How can a capital don't have a brt. Every country has a brt only Kenya don't! So are they telling us that they're better than other countries in the world. These kiberans and excuse are like 5/6

samorobo:
Thanks for telling them that its a misplaced priority.
Imagine them showing us pics of a digital zebra crossing designed for only one spot, just one spot

And they're happy

samorobo:
This ordinary bus terminal is going to be more beautiful than their airport.
Do they even know that buses,ferries,trains can have it own terminal ?

I think we're working on that now. Our government are really working hard.

samorobo:
Tylann are you seeing this.
We are building it with our oil money.
We don't need to borrow to put up this world class infastructure

They don't know how our country is developing this days. Let them continue ranting on Nairaland that they're better than Nigeria while we continue developing our country gradually

samorobo:
Don't mind them jare, they are just trying to pin their starvation on us.
Lets just assume that we are truly under UN food aid, common sense should tell them that we are not starving.
If anything bad happens to nigeria trust me it becomes the world problem, but kenyans would have to wait until a common footbridge collapse and kill them

gallivant:
It seems you contracted that Nigerian disease(low self esteem).Well then, go bleach yourselves until you look Scandinavian and see if your economy can match that of Kenya, which is managed by whites according to you. Jik bleach is very cheap for you, it's made right here in Kenya together with your mattresses, Kiwi shoe polish, BlueBand margarine, Bidco foods,Saddolin Paints and many more!

I don't know why the truth always hurts you. You're so Pained because KaziKazi his telling you the truth you're a useless creature. Foolish Kenyan disease

samorobo:
Wow so now he agrees that every country has kidnappers.
@bolded. With these frequent kidnapping news that I just read; I think it is pretty normal in kenya. Kidnapping tourist frequently is the height of it.

Anyway enjoy mote kidnapping headlines.

I.have more where that came from hypocrite

Don't mind the desperate fool. Now every country has a kidnappers. But he busy, ranting about kidnapping in Nigeria. But when I exposed him, that's when he now realize that every country has a kidnappers! Such a stupid fellow

gallivant:
We didn't plant any cashews either but we will harvest together!!

And its Somalis, not Somalians who are naturally the biggest cowards in Africa after Nigeria and Tanzanians in that order.

Everyone knows the biggest coward in the world is Kenya not even Africa. You want to claim what does not belongs to you. Your government give away your land to the whites and put you fools to starvation. Are you fools not the biggest coward in the world

samorobo:
Problemkid1 teach me how to cancel a post.
I will like to cancel this jargon

just like this. Look the screenshot.

samorobo:
So you have been taking note.
Anyway enjoy your unsafe travel al-saharan kidnapping country

If I catch you tomorrow you won't mention KID talk less of NAP

Kenyans have no descency. Kidnapping the same tourist that pits food on your table is highly inhumane and extremely foolish.
What a country

Their own kidnapping is even worse. They kidnapped both doctor and foreigners

samorobo:
Eat this shit tylann . I just want you to know that I never came up with this list ,but a globally recognised monetary institution did which is no other but the renowned IMF.
Problemkid1 whenever they want to sing that poverty song to your hearing , always remember to provide them this picture and also don't forget to tell them that you didn't make the list but IMF did.

Tylann I am sure you can read where the boldly wrote "POOREST" .
Fortunately nigeria is not on that demeaning list.
Enjoy being poor you citizen of a resourceless country

samorobo:
Monkey what is the meaning of "POVERTY PERSON"
you need to invest in some quality English.
Did you read you even read that newspaper at all, or is it just your normal olodo self trying to display it's foolishness and as well attract attention.
Your stupid newspaper report never said we are chasing our airlines period

The Newspaper is also sufferNdying just like him

Kazikazi:
Those Somalians don't joke! Kenyans are harvesting what they planted. Karma at work

Oh Kenyans

Kazikazi:
How long will u keep on lying to yourself? What do u plant which Tanzania doesn't plant? We have tonnes of coffee,tea,grapes,sisal,tobacco,cocoa,cotton,rice etc.

Actually, Tanzania is ahead of Kenya and all other east and central African nations on agriculture. We don't starve. But there are a lot of Kenyans who died due to chronic starvation in this year 2019.That means u don't have anything of value to sell and buy food to eat!The only farms u have are those owned by few whites who plants tea and flowers for Europeans. Nothing is managed by blacks.That's why u starve.

A million people in Turkana need food aid.Where is ur agriculture? Nowhere. U got nothing.

w1234:
Me , tylann never said that , show me where i said that

No one wants to face a grown up kid with problems

Then go to bed, son!

Kazikazi:
So are they lying?

Just prepare to be a landlocked Nation.Just see what Somalia is claiming..

The want to end the Kenyans finally if they claim it

w1234:
