In Summary










    Agriculture remains the backbone of Kenya's economy, consistently contributing over 20% to the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) from 2019 through Q1 2025.

    In contrast, the real estate and construction sectors show more modest contributions.

    In 2024, real estate and construction accounted for 6.79% and 6.72% of the GDP, respectively.

    While agriculture's dominance is evident, the data also shows the consistent, albeit smaller, roles played by real estate and construction in the national economy.

    In Q1 2025, these sectors contributed 25.69% (agriculture), 8.28% (real estate), and 6.14% (construction) to the GDP.
