Kenya Yearbook Editorial Board

Mining is the process of exploring, extracting and processing mineral resources, and remains a strategic pillar of Kenya’s socio-economic transformation.

Although currently contributing about 1 per cent to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the sector holds vast untapped potential across minerals such as soda ash, titanium, gold, gemstones, limestone and rare earth elements.

In 2024, the total value of mineral production declined to Sh25.5 billion from Sh33.8 billion in 2023, mainly due to reduced titanium output, even as soda ash production rose to 265,000 metric tones.

Guided by the Mining Act, 2016 and Articles 60 and 69 of the Constitution, the Government is strengthening regulation, formalizing artisanal mining and attracting investment as it aims to accelerate exploration, value addition and local processing to unlock jobs and sustainable revenue growth.
