Hi guys and gals......so, way back in November 2012 I paid a visit to these French nationals (really global citizens since they've lived almost everywhere) in Ugunja, Siaya county. They begin with roughly about 14 acres - their venture, as of November 2012, had a turnover of about 45K Euro (just shy of KSh.5m depending on exchange rate). Why aren't most of us doing this....I'm planning a similar venture myself. Check out their blog.

@Lolest, I love their philosophy! Nothing goes to waste. And they're also providing employment, not to mention fresh food free of chemicals to the locals! And guess what, their balance sheet is reading +

I think what's on their side is dirt cheap labor and readily available market for everything they're producing.

@stocker, @njung'e asked where specifically. He most likely knows Ugunja.
