AFA figures reported in August put Kenya’s 2025 macadamia crop value at KES 8.6 billion
Trade reporting attributed a 73% increase in 2025 crop value to AFA data. Crop-year totals and the separately reported 2025/2026 price season are kept distinct.
FreshPlaza's August 2026 report attributed a 2025 macadamia crop value of KES 8.6 billion to Kenya's Agriculture and Food Authority, describing a 73% increase. The report gave an approximate US-dollar equivalent of US$66.1 million. This is reported crop value, not evidence of export receipts or growers' net profit.
The same report gave production as 53,968.16 tonnes, compared with 49,183 tonnes in the preceding year. It did not specify a moisture basis or clearly identify the product basis for these quantities. They should therefore not be converted to kernel weight or directly compared with other countries' differently defined totals.
Separately, the report described farm-gate prices during the 2025/2026 harvest season: KES 70–100 per kilogram at the start of the harvest year and KES 120–150 toward the close of the high season. These are reported ranges, not an annual average or a verified price for a particular farm. They should not be treated as covering only the 2025 crop year.
All figures here are attributed to AFA through trade reporting; we have not inspected the originating statistical release. Repetition of the same figures is not independent verification.
Corrections
- minorPublisher correction
Replace the old lead with reviewed, disclosed conceptual artwork while preserving original article prose, dates, citations and claim evidence. These historical source facts were not newly reverified.
Previously: The archive lead image predates the owner’s revised image brief.
- materialPublisher correction
Bound each retained figure to the retrieved report, explicitly separated the price season from 2025 crop totals, preserved unknown measurement basis, and removed unsupported comparison, ranking, exact event date and numbering.
Previously: Two broad claim records did not substantiate all figures. The text blurred crop-year totals with a 2025/2026 price season, asserted an exact event date and retained stray numbering.
Sources - minorPublisher correction
Removed that redundant commentary for readability. The factual reporting, source limitations and earlier correction history are unchanged.
Previously: The article body repeated change-history commentary already retained in its public correction log.
