Sad indeed,but let us not forget that most of the coffee farmers were reduced to destitution for decades due to low returns. The arabica variety grown in most of the Kenyan highlands is the best quality in the world and yet the farmers who grow it have never tasted it. Reason? It is way beyond their means! I know know this may not be the popular view but let them grow coffee in other parts of the country.

Lets look at the facts guys. I own a plot hapo nxt to bob harris and i can tell u frm xperience. Rd is dusty: true bt imewekwa murram. Its an all weather rd now. Crime: it has been a high crime area till muhoho george opened a college there and gave land for an AP camp. The camp is nxt to mangu girls/ compuera. . The land is in the middle of nowhere. 2 yrs ago, my aunt was selling 3.5 acres to me in juja farm @ 350k. Friends told me its backward, etc and adviced me to forget it. I forgot it. Last year, she sold the same land @ 1.8M. The area around bob harris is far better than juja farm the way it was. Shule ziko, rds pia, etc. Anyone with a keen eye will see Goldmine. Others will just see just the negative. Guys, the place is great. I know the area well.

Very sad indeed... Even the 900 acre piece in recent papers isn't very far from there. The coffee farms have been a buffer zone for criminals from both sides of highland divide. When the coffee farms go...one cant imagine what will happen. It looks like in 20 years the whole of Kiambu will be urban.

...and govt is encouraging it by extending the metropolitan boundaries deep into Kiambu.

Expanding Southwards into vast areas within Machakos and Kajiado would have been better

Very sad indeed considering coffee cannot be grown just anywhere.

Where will Kenya generate income from in some years to come after we uproot all of our cash crops?
