Agriculture in Kenya is a critical sector for economic development, with manufacturing systems playing a significant role. A quasi-experimental approach was employed to assess the impact of different manufacturing system configurations on agricultural productivity and sustainability, with data collected from 100 randomly selected farms over two years using mixed-methods analysis including regression models. There was a statistically significant increase in crop yields by 15% (95% CI: 8-23%) when mechanized farming systems were implemented compared to traditional methods, suggesting enhanced efficiency and reduced labour costs. The quasi-experimental design proved effective in measuring clinical outcomes of manufacturing systems in agriculture, highlighting the potential for increased productivity and sustainability. Further research should explore scalability and cost-effectiveness across different regions and farming practices to ensure widespread adoption.
