FARMING as a separate forum category

[Anglututu]

I'm all in but get rid of the politics angle, we need a break from that nonsense. Let's just have the discussion without the politics and politicians for once.

Sunguch inakaa paka.

So naweza weka nini kwa backyard since umesema my unique selling point idea inakaa paka

 

[Kalel]

@Kalel ebu weka hapa breakdown layman kama mimi akitaka ku ingia farming ya tomatoes for biz. land is in karatina and the size is 1 acre.

land leasing 10000
Seeds 34000(stark ayres 9065 f1)
Propagation 15000 (1·5*10000 seeds)
Ploughing 7000+3500+1500
Land preparation 3000
Hizi ndio vitu najua lazima ufanye na price ni same everywhere.Now kuna cost zingine zitadepend on your source of water,how much labour costs in your area,where are you getting your fungicides and pesticides etc.
350k give or take is enough for an acre but sijahesabu vitu kama pipes na machines

In total agreement

Think long term my friend. Today it is locusts.... which sparked for your creativity and thinking outside the box. Kesho you will identify other possibilities...

kwanza after all these problems are gone there are many people in Uk.. start ups... who are doing all sorts of experiments with insects meat... shida hawana source nyingi thats where I would come in... grind and export as ground meat

Hujawahi sikia vijana wanasema tamu kama nyama ya sunguch? Tamu sana.

 

[zapp_brannigan]

Hapo kwa market is what I want to do research on. But so far najua kenyans hawaipendi. Chinese kama wanakula bats then sungura pia must be a menu. But how to get them there ndio shida.

Inbox me after we get over corona and businesses resume normal operations. That is if you still have the motivation. Partnering is key in business.

Hao si vijana most of those using that phrase are between 30 and 40 years ,younglings wa siku hizi ni playstation and mobile phones no time ya kutafuta ''mikengeria''.Hata most hawajui mikengeria ni nini.

@Okiya -- Untapped market for sungush is in the Carribean islands countries, Guyana + Trinidad & Tobago. Tafuta who is in charge of Uhuru`s 2019 trips to those countries upewe business connections for possible markets. I know what I am talking about but do your own research.

@emali si itabidi utafute substitute ya locusts once they are gone?

An acre can do atleast 12000 seedlings..tena note this is open field, and is prone to massive fungal infections sanasana times like now, again are you using farrow or drip irrigation!..I have not seen the figures of irrigation set-up or petrol for water pump , and fungicides, pesticides and fertilizers, and labour for staking tomatoes, spraying, harvesting, spraying, fertilizer application.

@Clyde007, kuja kwa Klist more often since nimeona title "New Lister".
I like what I am reading from farmers @Kalel and yourself on this farming thread.

 

[MkukiMoto]

@ Okiya , you share a lot of your professional experience here in Klist bwana Okiya. So it is only fair to share with you and fellow villagers marketing leads. Just find out if Uhuru is serious about promoting trade between Kenya and markets in the Carribean. Ama ni siasa tu.
