2024 Pilot Census of Agriculture

Abstract

The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics is mandated to collect, analyze, and disseminate official statistics in line with international standards and methods. These statistics are mainly used to support economic planning, evidence-based decisions, and informed policies. To improve the quality and reliability of official statistics, key sector statistics should be collected and managed under the National Strategy for Development of Statistics (NSDS) within the framework of National Statistical Systems (NSS). Agriculture statistics is one of the key sector statistics under the NSDS and NSS, hence requiring support from KNBS.
