What Kenya's farms sold, valued twice, for the ten calendar years to 2024. 660 observations: 33 commodity lines across ten years at two price bases, the prices of the day and constant 2018 prices. The pair is the point. One says what farming earned; the other says what farming grew.

In 2024 they part company. Gross marketed production rose 10.0 per cent in shillings, from 634,894.8 to 698,093.4 million, and fell 10.2 per cent in volume, from 569,293.8 to 511,278.9 million at constant 2018 prices. Kenyan farms took more money for selling less produce. The implied deflator makes the same point in one number: 111.5 in 2023, 136.5 in 2024.

The two halves of the account moved differently. Horticulture fell 12.8 per cent in shillings and 33.8 per cent in volume. Livestock rose 23.4 per cent in shillings while falling 13.9 per cent in volume. Cereals, permanent crops and temporary industrial crops are the only three groups that grew on both measures.

Marketed production is not production. It counts what passed through a marketing board, a licensed buyer or a recorded sale, so subsistence output, farm-gate barter and unrecorded trade are outside it by construction. It is a value account and carries no tonnages: quantities live in Table 7.5, which this dataset is checked against but does not publish.

Rows come at four levels and summing without filtering commodity_level counts the same shilling more than three times over: for 2024 at current prices a naive sum gives 2,557,341.6 against a grand total of 698,093.4. Every group's components sum to its own printed total, the five crop group totals sum to Total Crops, and Total Crops plus the sixth group total, Total Livestock and Related Products, is the printed GRAND TOTAL. All three levels are asserted on every run, in both price bases and every year.

2024 is provisional, 2018 to 2022 revised, the rest final.
