So as a start put a pig rearing project and plant grafted fruits - mangoes and avocados you wont regret it. I don't know about pig farming but i agree on chicken farming. Its not an easy business. you have to take care of those chickens day and night especially if you are doing large scale. They are like small babies. hata unaamka usiku ukaziangalie. Kama temparature iko right, water iko sawa, chakula. Then don't talk about the feeds and madawa. They can die on you enmass  Then the prices, don't let me go there. Meat you should have a secured guaranteed market or you start loosing money after a certain period. Eggs wacha siende hapo, the eggs i had to throw away because of the market glut

I also agree on chicken farming. There is really no easy job, so this one also requires some engaged time in order to run one such farm properly, but I think that it pays off nicely but only takes time to establish market

I will do dairy cows. 5 acres can hold up to 20 dairy cows. Each cow at a minimum can produce 10 liters of milk a day that is 200 liters at kshs. 60 per liter. that's kshs 12k a day. That's ksh 360k a months. You can accumulate the entire year of feed from Aug-Dec if you go to RV and collect/buy corn leaves/stems once they take out the actual corn, you can also lease land in RF for ksh-15k a year per hect.

If you have 20 of them, less than half would be milking at any one time. Some will be dry, meaning off milking, others just about to deliver, and no wonder the ones being milked proper. To milk twenty, you need a her daughter of like 40 or thereabouts. The returns are good but one need to have both a passion when it come tomdairying and a business approach.

Where are you selling milk for 60bob per litre?? America ama Wazua?? Wa! This paper theories are too much! Boss and how will you transport the feeds? SGR? Teleporting? Warehousing and storage? Paper theories for people who actually don't know what they are talking about!!!

So he will pack, then store the milk in cold chain, distribute it, market it and its only 200 litres and he will be making a whooping 360K. Please tell me how this idea is not as stupid as our politicians.

I would have considered it were it not for being labour intensive.
