Green tea cultivation is a significant agricultural activity in Northern Kenya, contributing to local economies through its economic impact on smallholder women farmers. A comprehensive review of existing literature, including studies on agricultural practices, gender dynamics, and economic development in the region, will be conducted to inform the theoretical model. The theoretical framework underscores the importance of social support structures and financial resources in enhancing green tea cultivation practices among smallholder women farmers. Policy makers should invest in capacity-building programmes that include training on sustainable farming techniques and access to credit facilities, thereby supporting economic growth in Northern Kenya's green tea sector.
