how can .ke have the capacity to provide fabric when it has been debating whether to adopt Bt cotton for more than ten years?
Do we even have cotton production to talk about any more? We let idiots run our cash crop authorities and all they're concerned with is kick-backs, not the welfare of the farmers or the future production of the crop.
A private company, Thika Cotton Mills, is trying to revive...giving seeds and contracting farmers to buy their produce.
irony is if uhuru was to vie again, he would still win.
sadly you give it to a spineless, clueless fellow like kiunjuri.
Not in this day and age. A nation ought to identify its biggest asset and focus on it while ensuring value addition. Kenya is blessed with all matter of raw wealth; how we utilize it is our blessing or curse. Case in point, we produce one of the World's best coffee and tea yet export it as is. To support my point, Qatar, Bahrain, and even Brunei, considered the World's wealthiest nations in terms of GDP per capita don't engage in agriculture.
Agriculture?
Yes. Our economy is majorly reliant on agriculture.
Moi messed up this docket big time in the name of punishing and marginalizing. The current rot of akina Kiunjuri are all but victims of circumstances who are also very inept and very comfortable.
Mimi naona we do away with term limits an make Uhuru president for life. Akimaliza yule jamma wa kusoma "nimefurai kufika nandi"can take over.
Not by chance but intentionally low. We can't be promising industrialization yet our electricity is expensive due to fuel levies, food security yet costs of input are high due to taxes. We are intentionally set to be a market for finished goods. We even export live animals to be slaughtered elsewhere
Halafu pia an Asian's productivity is very high compared to an African.
Labor costs shouldn't be a factor considering EPZ pay minimum wage. Technology is our undoing seeing as we have to import it.
You may have a point but for kenya, agriculture is our main thing as we diversify into other areas.
