Editing Rift Valley Province (section)

== Economy ==
The highlands provide adequate rainfall for farming and agriculture which is the economic base of the residents of the Rift Valley. [[Tea]] from the highlands in the [[Kericho]] district enjoys a worldwide reputation, but [[horticulture]] is an important part of the district's economy and cattle raising is also practised to a large extent.

The full economic potential of the Rift Valley region is, however, far from fully exploited, though the current growth in population and improved education may change this in a near future.  People in the province are still mostly rural, but [[urbanisation]] is gradually increasing; new cities and towns contain the rural-urban migration and, provided the right policies are instituted, the Rift Valley province will be able to emerge as a national economic and cultural hub.
