Please don't ever cheat yourself about cabbages and potatoes. Zina wenyewe. Take the advice above. Start with trying to sell the 2 bob ones then you'll get to understand what exactly happens in this market. Jose: If I make it through this thug life, I'll see you one day.

Am smelling the money . . .$€$€$€£¥¢trail right here on this thread! Now this story PRINCE CHARLES' LOVE FOR RABUON FROM NYANZA BOOSTS DEMANDwe only need to sneak in waru from Meru, Molo,-Narok, Limuru and kinangofu /Nyandarua to the Royal family dinner table and we are in bizna. Or better still bribe those gourmands to write about the healthiest veges from area code +254. . . Halafu get the Prince to test tea made from miraa or muguka for dessert. If only there was a way of freezing the caffishi and getting it to China and Europe. . . "😖😡KQ makes money for everyone except the shareholder 😏😏 " overheard in Wazua

Try somethibg else or do mixed farming ie divide it into 4 quaters the weka onion, skuma, spinach and cabbage. I think the nairobi population of 5m can absorb 30k cabbages. What if i drop 5k cabbages at Kangemi, another 5k at Umoja, 5k at dagoretti, 5k at mlolongo, 5k at Kitengela, and 5k at kasarani? I believe this can be done in one single day. @ Jagger, the reason why Coca Cola is a market leader is Distribution network. It's easy to say you will drop the cafishi in Umoja, Dago, Kayole, Dandora etc. the reality hits you hard when you have a truck full of cafishi and when you arrive at Kangemi, a mean looking guy asks you, who are u and what are you doing here? Your response may be I am a Kenyan with right to move and trade anywhere in this country. The guy will respond , we control this market. He will set the price and the terms. All the while the cafishi is cooking in the truck and the owner wants to offload and return for the next mzigo. Best thing is to look for a market, buy from those farmers selling at 2 bob and then sell as a middle man aka broker. Better still "get to know people" and if you get a tender to supply the military, you will be an overnight cafishi millionaire. All the best. Usife Moyo mwanaume in kujaribu.

There's hope. Sell the kafishi kwa estates(but not markets). Uzia kina mama mboga and also retail. Set aside some chums for 'boys' in estates where they reign

Cant agree More. @Jaggernut. You must do your research, know your target market and get your network/distribution right. I am in the market and know for sure that Kila farm product ina wenyewe na story yake behind it. But you can overcome by researching Prior to Planting. That is a Must.Another Important factor to Consider is seasons. You need to know what will be in demand when. For example, time to plant tomato may be towards December as demand is high then etc, etc. You do not want to be harvesting when everyone else is - you want to have the Product ripe when it is in high demand. Id is down to demand and supply dynamics. Lastly, not every produce grows in any soil and any environment. In other works, you got a piece of land in Loitoktok and be sure that Onions will thrive there year round, but you cannot grow lettuce there, etc etc. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God..

Wololo...just got back on air n this caught my eye .... mboga kwisha choma mimi sana...but one day I will try again. Instead of jumping into unknown waters, I wud first try by being a broker coz the risks as a broker r less. Once u study the market n its dynamics, u may decide whether its a good idea to go on and plant. As bigchick has put it,there comes a time hata .ng'ombe wanakucheka wakiona ukiwapea mboga....

For every one farmer who plans and sells at the right time, Kieni kule Nyeri is full of gitongoro and mboga farmers who've lost it planting 2 acres of either and leasing others only to find the market ikodown kabisa because every farmer thought of doing the same. Luckily munge can eat the mboga, onions are used for manure. Fanya research or convince shules to buy your crop. In advance The Governor of Nyeri - 2017

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.  Got 5 acres lying idle in mayakos (midway mayakos town and makutano...2.5 km off the main road...Don't know what to do with it!!! But no water nearby...Uko na roho ya borehole? Ukifanya borehole jaribu somethingelse.Kama matunda melons, maembe , paipai nakathalika. Sijasiskia cabbage ya kutoka Mayakos. ... Ama sukuma Cabbages seem to do well in cooler places, Machakos si kuna joto sana? True cabbages like cold weather otherwise they will open up and become sukumawiki Politics is just things to keep the people divided and foolish and put your trust in men and none of them can do nothing for you...
