Lending to Kenya's agriculture sector has significantly increased, reaching Sh167.7 billion in September 2025, according to the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK). This substantial rise from Sh141.9 billion in September 2023 indicates a positive trend in agricultural financing.

• Agricultural sector borrowing surged to Sh167.7 billion in September 2025, up from Sh141.9 billion in September 2023.
• CBK Governor Kamau Thugge noted this upward trend is encouraging but emphasized the need for further efforts to enhance access to funds for small-scale farmers.
