Kenya

Kenya is the regional center of trade and finance in Africa. Agriculture (75% of workers, 22% of GDP) (tea, coffee, corn, cereals, sugar cane, fruits, vegetables, flowers). Meat and dairy farming, pigs and chickens are also bred.

Industry (16% of GDP). Consumer goods (batteries, fabrics, soap, cigarettes) are produced in small quantities, and agricultural products are processed. Several oil refineries, cement production, and ship repair workshops have been preserved since colonial times.

The service sector accounts for 62% of GDP.

The mining industry is poorly developed and plays an insignificant role in the economy and the overall structure of the country's economic activity, although the country is rich in minerals. The mining industry can mainly be characterized by the extraction of soda in the lake area Magadi, fluorite, table salt, gold and rubies.

The main branches of the manufacturing industry are food, textile, printing, sewing, car assembly, oil refining, chemical, mechanical engineering, production of alcoholic beverages, spare parts for cars, cement, paper and metal products. The main industrial centers are Nairobi and Mombasa. Large industrial enterprises are located in different parts of the country, for example, a paper mill in Webua and an oil refinery in Mombasa, operating on imported oil.

The main export products are tea, flowers, petroleum products, coffee, as well as fruits, vegetables, tobacco and other agricultural products; re-export. The main buyers are the USA, Uganda, Pakistan, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.

The main imports are petroleum products, palm oil, automobiles, medicines and unrefined sugar, and other industrial products and agricultural raw materials are also imported into the country. Main suppliers: China, India, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Japan, South Africa.

The level of consumption of mineral resources in the country is low, so, for example, gas is not consumed at all, and accordingly is not imported. No oil deposits have been found yet, so Kenya's need for oil and petroleum products is being met through imports. There is almost no demand for lead in the country, and therefore it is not imported. About 15 thousand tons of zinc are used in the country per year. Kenya also imports steel intermediates to ensure the operation of rolling mills. Kenya mainly imports industrial products from economically developed countries, such as oil, machine tools, automobiles, ferrous and non-ferrous mill products, synthetic resins, medicines and equipment.

The net installed capacity of power plants is 3,155 MW, including: thermal power plants burning organic fuels — 35.3%, renewable energy sources — 64.7%.

Tourism is one of the main sources of government revenue. Kenya's wildlife attracts tourists from all over the world. Here you can see lion hunting for antelopes, family bathing of hippos and the world's largest colony of pink flamingos. The vast territory of Kenya has been a national park for more than 15 years, so any hunting is strictly prohibited here.

Fans of extreme recreation come to make mountaineering ascents to the extinct volcano Kenya.
