Meanwhile, improvements in the digital finance industry can be seen, as internet access through 4G and LTE services have become stronger and more accessible to the general public. ![](https://i0.wp.com/scholarshipsforafricans.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/pexels-melissa-mayes-6680157.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&ssl=1) ## Agriculture Kenya’s agricultural industry is comprised of both crop and livestock. Regarded as the country’s economic foundation and bedrock, Kenyan agriculture accounts for 35% of the Kenyan Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In turn, the industry is consistent and ever-growing in terms of labor demand. In fact, 70% of Kenyan laborers have made extra income through various agricultural activities. ![](https://i0.wp.com/scholarshipsforafricans.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/pexels-rodolfo-quiros-2219024.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&ssl=1) ## Construction Construction in Kenya has experienced a 7.4% hike in growth as of 2017. This growth is attributed to the impressive public infrastructural investments carried out by the Kenyan government, such as the construction of more railways and roads. Furthermore, the industry also cuts across improvements in energy production, upgrading of airports, ports amongst other public facilities. ![](https://i0.wp.com/scholarshipsforafricans.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/pexels-photomix-company-101808.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&ssl=1) ## Real Estate For the past two decades, the Kenyan real estate market has grown exponentially as evidenced by its contribution to the country’s GDP which grew from 10.5% in 2000 to 12.6% in 2012 and 13.8% in 2016. These factors have therefore led to the development of unique trends across the various real estate themes, as investors sought to gain high returns and buyers sought aspirational lifestyles and quality products. ![](https://i0.wp.com/scholarshipsforafricans.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/pexels-le-minh-977213.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&ssl=1) ## Transportation Given the fact that the Kenyan capital, Nairobi is the largest city between the Egyptian capital, Cairo and Johannesburg in South Africa, it serves as the heart of transportation of Eastern and Central Africa. A key player in travel and economy, transportation is steadily-growing, given the technological advancements experienced by the country. * * * _brought to you by Scholarships for Africans_ [**Scholarships for Africans**](https://scholarshipsforafricans.com/) is a premier scholarship information blog committed to bringing more opportunities for Africans globally.
