What biz can one do to generate at least 30k profit a month on 8m x 6m space? That’s the space that remains of my 50x100 plot the rest is the house.

Reason for 30k is this is what I consider to be minimum recurrent expenditure for average town lifestyle by my own standards. Any ideas?

Thanks but confirm the following:
.As per the blog, a cage measuring 4*2.5*1.5ft can house a maximum of 50 quails?
.I understand these are wild animals; will the neighbourhood association rise up in arms against?

I doubt it.These are just but birds which should not disturb the neighbours.. but you require a licence from KWS to do this...[/quote]
I hear they are noisy...

Have you restricted yourself to just farming or are you open to other ideas?

You could open a micro-factory making anything from potato chips to fruit juices to cakes and bread to... non-food items like clothing etc.

You could even put up a nice furnished guest wing and rent it out (B&B) for something like 2kper night....

It all depends on the amount of capital you have to invest.

Farming on anything less than one hectare (2.5acres) is not good utilisation of land. Yes, I know there are people doing and making a profit, but they can make many times more from the same land if they stopped farming and started processing something on the same land!

Just think outside the farming box.

@ Mukiha, much appreciated, your well thought contributions have been missing for some time. Posho mill is out due to noise n dust. Bakery – not sure whether aroma will affect some neighbour. Farming- I agree.

@Mukiha, Advice also how to navigate around the KEBS guys who I understand will insist on seeing the premises (which should be in approved industrial / commercial area) before granting license to use their ‘‘Mark of quality’’

That space is enough for you to put up 2 DSQs. Then you rent out each at 15k and you have 30k pap.

These KEBS guys should visit china,three quarters of the manufacturing businesses there emanate from the bedrooms!

On the same note of micro processing, you could start a water bottling plant, it's a relatively easy to start business and you can then expand as demand dictates.

Quail farming is also an idea, though I have my reservations about it. There has been a lot of noise in the market which has made the birds and their eggs too expensive, not sure if it's sustainable. Who is eating these birds and/ or their eggs, so far all farmers I have spoken to are selling to fellow farmers, pyramid scheme style. Anyway, I shall continue with my research and if it proves viable, jump in.

Aquaponics pap!
