VEGETABLES

Vegetables in Kenya are grown mainly on small scale both for subsistence and for sale to urban areas. Some vegetables are exported to other countries. Farmers like to grow vegetables close to the market areas or near roads or railway stations so that they can reach the market quickly and are sold before they go bad. The main vegetables grown in Kenya are cabbages, carrots, sukuma wiki, onions, tomatoes, green peppers, peas and green beans. Some traditional vegetables like Kunde, terere, osuga, mrenda, mto and managu are also grown so the government of Kenya has encouraged the traditional African societies.
