肯尼亚棉花平均产量为每公顷572公斤

The average yield of the country per hectare is 572 kg in Kenya

The government of Kenya is looking to increase the production of the cotton crop, which is currently at around 10.4 per cent of the country's potential. The government will provide support to cotton farmers along with better cotton varieties, irrigation projects and transparent pricing to help surpass 1984's annual production of 70,000 bales of lint cotton.

Kenya's cotton production per hectare is lesser than the average around the world owing to higher input cost and little mechanisation, according to the agricultural ministry of the country. The average yield of the country per hectare is 572 kg as compared to the world's average of 726 kg.

Out of the 384,500 hectares of rain-fed and irrigated land meant for cotton farming, only 10.4 per cent is brought under irrigation, said Willy Bett, agriculture cabinet secretary in a speech.

肯尼亚棉花平均产量为每公顷572公斤

肯尼亚政府将为棉农提供支持，同时为其提供更好的棉花品种，旨在提高该国的棉花作物产量。此外，政府通过灌溉项目和透明定价来帮助棉农，期待使其棉花产量超越1984年年均产量70000包的水平。

据肯尼亚农业部称，由于投入成本高且机械化水平较低，目前肯尼亚的棉花产量低于全球平均水平。该国的平均产量为每公顷572公斤，而全球平均产量为每公顷726公斤。

该国农业内阁部长Willy Bett在一次演讲中提到，该国用于棉花种植的旱地和灌溉用地逾384500公顷，但仅10.4%的土地受到灌溉。
