Gross County Product – 2023

Gross County Product  2023 is the third in a series of reports with the first having been disseminated in 2019 and the second in 2021. The Gross County Product (GCP) reports provide a monetary measure of the net market value of all the final goods and services produced within each of the 47 counties. The GCP 2023 highlights the differences in the size of the economy across counties from 2018 to 2022.Only four counties, namely: Nairobi City (27.5%), Kiambu (5.7%), Nakuru (4.9%) and Mombasa (4.9 %) have a Gross Value Added (GVA) contribution which is above 4.0 per cent. Counties with a wide range of agricultural products and large-scale grain farming were the major contributors to agriculture GVA. Counties with Export Processing Zones (EPZ) in their jurisdiction, such as Nairobi City, Mombasa, and Machakos, posted larger contributions to manufacturing activity. Only six counties had per capita GCP
greater than the national GDP per capita of KSh 264,077 while eighteen of the forty-seven counties had a GCP per capita below KSh 150,000 in 2022, underscoring the huge disparities across counties.
