Have you been wondering what agribusiness initiative you can embark on in the coming year? You might want to consider farming layers. If you have no clue, this article will equip you with a guide on how to get started, stay afloat and make profit. Starting a layers farm can be very rewarding with proper planning and management. Here’s a breakdown of the necessary steps in starting a chicken layers farm in Kenya.
The agricultural sector in Kenya is ever evolving and offering new opportunities for small-scale farmers. Pig farming continues to gain popularity due to the increasing demand for pork in the country. The annual consumption is over 300,000 metric tonnes, owing to a growing population, urbanization and changing dietary preferences. If managed properly, pig farming can be a profitable business venture.
Most young people no longer view agriculture as a viable and dignified source of livelihood. In fact, the average age of a farmer in Kenya is 60 years. This is not good news for the food security of our nation. Safaricom Foundation through the Wezesha program is hoping to address that by shifting the mindset of the youth and highlight opportunities in agricultural production to support their livelihoods.
"I would like to commend KLPA and DigiFarm for coming to our aid. We were facing a lot of challenges as farmers. We wanted to plant but did not have cash for fertilizer. We would plant without fertilizer and get very poor yields. Now that you have brought the farm inputs, we are assured of a bumper harvest."
"As woman, I face many challenges when I want to farm due to lack of resources. I'm happy that when I came to access the input loan KLPA did not ask me about my husband unlike other providers who ask for guarantors and many other stringent terms. They've just asked for my phone number and ID number and issued me with the inputs. As a woman, I find that very convenient. I have found it very helpful."
"The KLPA trade fairs have been very useful to us. We are able to interact with farmers and address the challenges that they are facing, educate them about our products. I find the trade fairs very useful."
