The
Kenyan economy remains dominated by Agriculture
which
still accounts for 30% of GDP. The sector
is itself diversified,
consisting of varied food crop and cash
crop subsectors as well
as livestock, forestry and fishing.
Manufacturing
accounts for another 17% of GDP with the
rest
being mainly services.
Industrialization
is the leading development challenge with
Kenya wanting to join the ranks of the Newly
Industrialised
countries.
There
is Manufacturing - Under Bond Scheme in
operation.
The Export Processing Zones Authority (EPZA)
operates in
six gazetted zones. There are also privately
owned Export
Processing Zones, the first one being Sameer
Industrial Park.
