i have like close to 1m KES which i want to put in reliable self sustaining income generating project. a pal of mine gave me an idea about doin some serious agriculture at the YATTA scheme (about 20mins from Thika,on your way to Mwingi) and from what i gathered,it sounded a really venture especially with tomatoes. he tells me that land is rented in parcels of 5ha and with greenhouses well managed,one can make serious cash from tomatoes and the likes. Am currently undertaking a feasibility study to determine the viability of the project and make a decision.I wish to get contributions on from those who have done/heard about it on:
-Any unperceived risks like con other than normal business risk.
-From experience,how profitable/ risky can it get ....in terms of losing initial capital?

Your input will be highly valued.

Take 10% of your 1M and get dirty with it. After the first harvest,you will have charted them murky waters. It's quite profitable,procrastination[if u ever did] should be in your past once u get started. You will have to tend at your farm like a kid or something for max. output. I went there with a calc. from the promising stories. I had to get rid of it,the figures weren't making sense. I gez i was not really knowledgeable about crop husbandry. Get some farming manuals from KARI,they will come in handy. Must warn you though,there are no 5 acres/hectares on the lower side of the canal. But who knows,you could be lucky.
