Farm Income Farm income is limited

Farm Income
Farm income is limited mainly by low crop yields coupled with poor market infrastructure. Off-farm employment is an important source of income, contributing about 60% of total smallholder household income in Kilifi district. However, off-farm income has been declining because of the low number of tourists visiting the region in recent years (Maarse et al.1998). Also, employment opportunities from manufacturing and tertiary industries have been few because of the poor growth and performance of
these sectors.
