Analysis
Kenya recorded 118,004 t for other pulses n.e.c. — production in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 34.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, other pulses n.e.c. — production in Kenya peaked at 374,000 t in 1983 and was at its lowest, 10,952 t, in 1997.
That places Kenya 12th out of 117 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
