Kitui County is one of Kenya's largest counties and sits in the semi-arid lowlands east of Machakos. The county is known for cotton growing, forestry, and significant coal deposits at Mui Basin — one of Kenya's largest coal reserves — which are being explored for energy generation.
The Mui Coal Basin could transform Kitui's economy when development proceeds. Currently, cotton, dryland farming, charcoal, and government services dominate. The Kitui Textile Centre (KICOTEC) is a county-run garment manufacturing facility producing uniforms and workwear.
Energy and infrastructure developers eyeing Kitui's coal and mineral resources will find relevant procurement suppliers listed on ProvenGrid.
