NAIROBI, Sept. 17 (Xinhua) -- Kenya's earnings from horticulture exports declined by 3.5 percent in the first half of 2024, driven by reduced shipments to markets in Europe and Asia, according to new economic data released on Tuesday by the national statistics bureau.

The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) said in a report released in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, that the East African nation earned 86.8 billion shillings (about 673 million U.S. dollars) during this period, down from 697 million dollars in the same period in 2023.
