Every figure on this site comes from a cited public source.
The Atlas is built on a tiered hierarchy of sources — official Kenyan publications first, followed by the SAFIC harmonised dataset, then peer international datasets, then commodity-specific sector bodies. The tables below catalogue the sources used in each chapter, with direct links where the publisher offers them.
