Over the past years, a lot of efforts and calls have been made towards raising the levels of agricultural productivity to boost economic growth. This study was to examine the impacts of agricultural public spending on agricultural productivity in Kenya. The study adopted a descriptive research design and used a simple regression model to establish the significance of agricultural public spending on agricultural productivity. The series were transformed into natural logarithms given the inefficient and unreliable empirical results due to sharpness in time series in developing economies like Kenya [1].
