Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) towards ensuring vegetable safety and quality is a novel concept among Kenyan vegetable growers with its implementation low due to lack of awareness. To bridge this gap, this study sought to determine the socio-economic characteristics that affect GAP awareness among vegetable farmers in Nakuru, Kenya. Simple random sampling was used to select 100 vegetable growers. Logistic regression was used for analysis and the findings reveal that gender, level of education, leased land, income and training significantly influenced awareness. Emphasis on awareness creation among female vegetable growers and capacity building through training on GAP standards is suggested as a way forward in order to increase implementation.
