Earnings from horticulture recorded the biggest growth among Kenya’s main agricultural exports in the eight months to August, fresh data shows, cancelling out poor performance by tea.

An update by the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) shows that horticulture earnings jumped by a quarter to Sh87.8 billion ($795 million) from Sh70.3 billion ($636 million) in the first eight months of last year.
