They never pay the suppliers on time.The poor farmers get their money after 4-6 months. Truth forever on the scaffold

Ukienda huko, peana Kiswahili/local names siyo mambo na baby corn, rosemary, kiwi fruit blah blah!! Hayo majina ya kizungu wacha huko mito miwili, makutano, bustani la jiji na mengineo.

That vegetable discussion have reminded me of a certain BIKOZULU POSTA ciggie break, two veggies converse. Cabbage (C): Hi? Italian Tomato (IT); Ciao C: Is it true you are from Italy? IT: Si. Forgive me, my inglese not good. C: That's fine, nobody's here is. We are only vegetables, after all. IT. Haha. Si. C: Where in Italy do you come from? IT: Tuscany. C: Ati Tusker? IT: No. Tuscany. Tuscany! C: Aii, I don't know that one. I know Tusker. IT: You? Where from? C: From Kapsoit. IT: Oh. Va bene. Nice. C: Look, I want to tell you this is because we are neighbours here, but thing is other vegetables have been talking about you. IT: Oh? Perchè? C: They are saying you are not from Italy. IT: Nonesense! I'm from Tuscany! C: I'm just telling you the word on the floor. IT: Grazie! Grazie! C: Who do you expect to buy you anyway? IT: I think, er , persona - do I say correctly? Person, si? Person from Kilishewa. C: Kileleshwa? IT: Aaah si, si. You? Who buy you? C: Kikuyus, mostly. IT; Kukuyus like cavolo? C: What is cavolo? IT: Cabbage. C: They love cavolo. Listen are you here for a long time? IT: I like it, I like Nairovi. Nice people. I like sun, bello! C: Nice. We better get back to work. IT: Yes, ni thaa cia wiira. C: Haha. I knew you were from Kerugoya!!

God bless the malls This is because the people who grow them are few and so get ready market right at the farm or grow for those supermarkets.But note we do get Mushrooms and babycorn and Kiwi in my local Maguna Andu supermarket. Love is beautiful and so are those who share it.With Love, Marriage is an amazing event in ones life time, the foundation of joy, happiness and success.

It is also because we are exploited by our middle-man system. But also note that imported vegetables are cheaper than the locally grown as we do not use efficient methods neither do we compromise quality. The difference is in taste. Have you ever eaten tomatoes, meat, eggs, drunk coffee in Europe or the US? A boiled egg tastes like rubber and a tomato like dirty water, that's the difference.

Assuming each of those people spent atleast 1K in two rivers mall, it means the tenants made a cool 75 mirrion If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

Of course the name "Italian tomatoes" doesn't mean they are grown in Italy, just like Irish potatoes aren't grown in Ireland but rather kinangop. Or french beans. Italian tomatoes refer to the tomato variety Roma VF.

Mbona mimi huona zimeandikwa grown in an organic farm- marketing BS BTW the only vegetables checked for quality (read pesticide residues threshold) are meant for EU export. supermarkets don't have capacity for that. I have only seen fresh n juici try- but they were exporting!!! The hot stock is the one that everyone thinks that everyone else thinks....is the hot stock (Dixit & Nalebuff, 2008).
