When cash crops began to be raised in the Central Highland Farms of the Kikuyu, many government officials recognized the economic potential of these crops, leading to increased investment in agricultural infrastructure. This shift also intensified the colonial administration's focus on land allocation and control, often at the expense of the Kikuyu people's traditional farming practices. Consequently, tensions grew between the Kikuyu farmers and the government, as land disputes and issues of labor exploitation emerged. Overall, the cultivation of cash crops marked a significant turning point in the region's economic landscape and social dynamics.
