Discrete kinetic equations describing binary processes of agglomeration and fragmentation are considered using formal equivalence between the kinetic equations and the geodesic equations of some affinely connected space A associated with the kinetic equation and called the kinetic space of affine connection. The geometric properties of equations are treated locally in some coordinate chart (x;U). The peculiarity of the space A is that in the coordinates (x) of some selected local chart, the Christoffel symbols defining the affine connection of the space A are constant. Examples of the Smoluchowski equation for agglomeration processes without fragmentation and the exchange-driven growth equation are considered for small dimensions in terms of geodesic equations. When fragmentation is taken into account, the kinetic equations can be written as equations of quasigeodesics. Particular cases of spaces with symmetries are discussed.
