The seed-cotton yield in Kenya is projected to decline slightly over the forecast period from 2024 to 2028, with values decreasing from 4.44 to 4.31 thousand hectograms per hectare. The year-on-year percentage change indicates a consistent decrease in yield by approximately 0.68% from 2025 to 2026, and the decline ranges between 0.68% and 0.92% annually. The 5-year Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is negative, reflecting an average annual decrease in seed-cotton yield.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of climate change on agricultural productivity, advancements in cotton farming techniques, and government policies supporting the agricultural sector in Kenya. Monitoring these factors will be crucial to understanding the long-term potential for stabilizing or reversing the declining yield trend.
