How Kenya's recorded produce sales split between large and small farms, in shillings, for the ten calendar years to 2024. 70 observations: three farm-size groups, large, small and the printed total, each carrying a value in KSh million and its own annual percentage change, plus the small-farm share of the total that Table 7.3 prints directly rather than this dataset deriving it.

Small farms took 72.9 to 73.3 per cent of the total in every one of the ten years, a band four tenths of a percentage point wide. Over the same decade the total itself grew from 405,406.6 KSh million in 2015 to 690,190.3 in 2024, up 70.2 per cent. Large farms grew a little slower, from 109,865.2 to 185,661.2, up 69.0 per cent; small farms a little faster, from 295,541.4 to 504,529.1, up 70.7 per cent. The two rates sit 1.7 percentage points apart across the whole decade, which is why the share barely moves even as the shillings involved grow by more than two thirds.

Large plus small reproduces the printed total to within 0.10 in every year, and small divided by total reproduces the printed share to within 0.000. The printed annual-change column does not reproduce as cleanly: recomputed from the levels, it disagrees with what the source prints in 2016, 2018 and 2020, worst at 2020, where the levels imply a rise of 1.61 per cent against a printed 8.50. The "+ Revised" marker on a year does not explain which years these are: 2019 carries none and is final; 2020, 2021 and 2022 all carry it, and only 2020 disagrees. Published as printed regardless: KNBS's own table is the source of record for what it printed, not for what its own levels imply. A reader who recomputes the change column and gets a different number for 2016, 2018 or 2020 has found this, not a bug.

2015 through 2019 and 2023 are final, 2020 through 2022 are revised, and 2024 is provisional.
