This Kisii Town Located In Kisii County.

Kisii County is most known for its association with soap-stone, which is extensively used in the production of curios that form a large part of Kenya’s tourism trade merchandise.

Kisii County has a very high population density which ensures that the labour force is sufficient to contribute to production levels in the county. This large labour force is also an indicator of the county’s future production potential and if exploited could see a significant rise in production and thus incomes of the county’s people.

Agriculture is the main economic activity practised by the county’s residents. Cultivated tea, bananas, maize and coffee are among the largest income contributors to the county’s people with Napier grass cultivated to feed the livestock that is mainly reared for dairy production. Further investment into this sector could see the region become a major contributor to Kenya’s food needs.

Commerce also plays a major role in the county’s economy contributing a large part of the incomes earned by the residents of the county. A number of major financial institutions and retail businesses have outlets in the county indicating the vibrancy of the area’s economy. This vibrancy can be enhanced even further by targeted investments aimed at attracting more investors into the county.
