I million cabbages

There is always this joke that the easiest way to become a millionaire is to plant 1 million cabbages and sell each at 1 bob. Anyway, on a serious note, 1 acre can have 30,000 cabbages and with the price of one cabbage currently at 80bob in Nairobi, it means one can make Ksh 2,400,000 in just 3 months. I am seriously looking for 1 acre of land to lease within 100km of Nairobi to try and actualize this.

Good for you to plant. But take your mind off the 80 bob price. Cobweb Theorem is always at play in such markets. There will be serious oversupply in a few weeks

There will be serious oversupply in a few weeks Of course timing is quite important. Wholesaling at 40bob would still give you about 1m after factoring expenses. Even selling at a throw away price of 20bob will give you 600k. This after just 3 months.

Lower that to 10 bob (am being modest by not saying 5 bob) coz thats yhe price middlemen buy at.Talk to farmers in Kimende Lari area. And they are good at timing, giving false promise the first week then coming back when you are desperate and willing to sell even at 3 bob. Start with establishing ready market then grow them. Otherwise theory sounds good while practical ni balaa tupu. Good luck.

Right @bigchick. And also avoid flat land. Could be disastrous when it floods
