Hi Wazuans,

I am in the process of applying for the agrivijana loan from the YEDF and Amiran. I personally think it is a good opportunity with good terms - better than acquiring greenhouses from Amiran directly as an individual. However, in my due diligence I have not come across anyone who built a greenhouse through this channel. Most young greenhouse farmers seem unaware of the program and went it alone despite it being halfway cheaper through Agrivijana. My area youth fund manager has agreed to take me to a greenhouse farmer who is doing really well through agrivijana. Before then I would like to know if we have greenhouse farmers here and what their experiences have been either through YEDF or through self-financing with direct approach to greenhouse manufacturers.

Kajiado. A few days ago I was looking at a hydroponic setup, trying to get a quotation for the structures. I wonder if I can get this facility for that.

Just curious why does YEDF insist on working with Amiran,Why not just fund any viable agriculture businesses what if i wanted to grow maize,cabbages,avocado the conventional way?If this was the case then more people would qualify as initial capital would be much less.

How much are the greenhouse cost. Id like to put one at Kitengela.

Anyone in the know how long it take to get the kit (Assuming all form duly filled correctly).

I got a transfer that forced me to put things on hold for a while but I have managed to finally hand in my application. I will post updates with time.
