Profitable Agribusiness Ideas in Kenya

Dairy Farming
Milk is always a requirement in many Kenyan kitchens especially in making tea. Most Kenyan families cannot drink tea if it does not contain milk. This shows you how important milk is in Kenya. The current price of milk goes for Ksh. 35 in milk processing plants and at shop price it goes for Ksh.60.

Fish Farming
Tilapia, Catfish, Nile Perch among others, are some of the fish that farmers in Kenya raise for profits. Fish farming in Kenya is on demand and many supermarkets are issuing tenders for supply. Some Secondary Schools in Kenya also making orders for fish during important school events. The current price of fish is Ksh. 500 per Kg

Vegetable Farming
Many vegetables in the market offer high returns in just three (3) months of planting. Onions, Capsicums, Tomatoes, Cabbages are just a few examples of vegetables that can generate you a lot of income in a short period of time. Especially if you have water and irrigation equipment you can generate a lot of money if you plant during drought seasons.

Bee Keeping
The cost of starting a bee keeping business is relatively low and the returns very high. You can start a bee keeping business in Kenya with as low as 3,000 by constructing a langstroth bee hive from your local carpenter. Other things you may need are veils, bee suits and smokers (Smokers are used to control the bees during harvest to prevent them from stinging you)

Poultry Farming
Chickens lay hundreds of eggs of every year and these eggs are always on high demand by not just Kenyans but also globally. Kienyeji chicken eggs are sold between Ksh 15- Ksh 20 while exotic birds go for Ksh 10-Ksh 20. You can also raise chickens for meat and sell them for a hefty profit. Refer to our previous article about layers and broilers for an in-depth view.

Pig Farming
Pigs are well known in Kenya for producing meat (pork) and for bringing back huge profits to the farmer. If you decide to keep pigs you will fast realize that they are very easy to maintain. You have to choose good breeds though to ensure that you get good sizes when you want to sell.

Goat and Sheep Farming
Starting a Goat or Sheep business is relatively affordable and the good thing is that they do not need a lot of maintenance. From sheep you can get wool, skins,sheep milk,mutton and manure while goats can give you milk, meat, skins and manure. If you have ever bought one (1) kg of goat or sheep meat from the butchery then you will know how expensive it is. Imagine the profits you would be making if you were selling your own goats and sheep!

Bull Rearing
People have been raising bulls for centuries because of their good meat. You can buy a bull for as low as Ksh 4000 and eventually sell it after one year for as much as Ksh 50,000 depending on how you have fed it.

Fresh juice production
Drinking a glass of fresh juice everyday is good for your health and everybody knows that. The health sector has been preaching this for a long time and people are starting to listen. With the increase of juice buyers, selling fresh juice has started to become a profitable business especially if you are planting the same fruits that you are selling juice from.

Animal Feed Production
With many people in Kenya venturing into dairy farming, sheep farming, pig farming among others, there is a demand for animal feeds. If you are a smart business person you will realize that if you produce your own feed (which will lower your production cost) and sell it to farmers you will generate a lot of income.

11 Habits You Need to Stop Doing

Stop watching too much TV If you spend too much time watching TV, you are wasting your life away. I feel really strongly about this one. I don’t have cable, and while I do watch some shows on Netflix, it’s few and far between. I only watch TV after I really am relaxed and need a break. I’m also careful not to turn on the TV right when I get home. I find that if I do this, I’m sucked in. This is why I keep my reading list and focus on reading good books instead. So, start to pay attention to how much TV you’re watching. If you think it’s too much, cut back. Limit your TV intake to 30 minutes to 1 hour per day, if possible. Stop talking about people behind their backs Talking about someone behind her back is a bad idea for a number of reasons. First, if someone is talking to you behind someone else’s back, you can bet on it that they also will talk about you. Second, did you know that when you talk about someone negatively, the person who you’re talking to will associate yo...

How to Stop Porn Addiction

Don't be judgmental. The first thing you should do when trying to help other people stay away from porn is to stop being judgmental. Do not see or portray the situation in a way that makes them bad for what they do. Sexuality is very normal and human. Even most religions teach that it is not anyone’s place to judge their fellow man (but is instead the job of the Creator). It’s also bad to judge people because it tends to turn them off from what you’re trying to do. Many people that might be open to change will become defensive if you judge them and become even more set in their ways. Stay calm when you talk to them and avoid any judgmental language like “Why can’t you be more like Davis ?” or “Watching pornography will turn you into a pedophile!”. Don’t make assumptions about how they think or compare them to other people, since language like this tends to shut people down. Look for spiritual guidance. If you’re really having trouble getting your habit under control, you ...
