Abstract

Agriculture yield improvement in Kenya has been a focus of regional monitoring networks aimed at enhancing food security and economic growth. A Bayesian hierarchical model was applied to analyse regional data, assessing yield improvement trends and identifying key factors influencing agricultural productivity. The analysis revealed significant variability in yield improvements across different regions with a mean increase of 8% over the study period. Bayesian hierarchical models offer valuable insights into understanding regional agricultural performance and highlight the importance of targeted interventions. Enhanced monitoring networks should prioritise data collection from high-risk areas to maximise yield improvement efforts. The empirical specification follows $Y=\beta_0+\beta^\top X+\varepsilon$, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.
