Back to cowboy boots & hat, driving off road double cab & riding offroad motor bike across my farms to ensure I make >100M within 12 months.
Farming is cool.
The block above is in a certain county within Rift Valley and it’s about 1,200 acres, strictly for maize.
Cost of production = 20- 30k per acre. ( I am a beneficiary of subsidized fertilizer, the land is not leased, I own the machineries so cost ziko chini.
Staffs ndio wamefanya gharama ya kuzalisha iwe juu kiasi.
If you act timely on every step and the weather maintains its favour as it has always been, expect a gross profit of 140- 150M, meaning you will be left with a net of >100M.
Annual net profit from this particular farm can purchase 1,000 acres Kule Kilifi mashinani. So 5 years= 5,000 acres( each of my kids can own it then “wengine” waseme ni “uporaji”).
Kuna zile zinazo, zingine ni leasehold, zingine ni za absentee landlord ( partially occupied by squatters), zingine ni communal ( hawana shughuli na title).
I’ve visited my maize farm in Trans Nzoia and it’s doing pretty well, better than last year. 95% of the crop has prop roots, all the leaves ( including those first leaves that germinated in March) are still green.
Tussling is expected next week, you can fill some thick stuff in their necks when pressed.
Swaffi kabisa brathe. Naona umeamua kuwa food independent as we wait for starvation photos and food appeals from the ‘owners of capirooo’ and their relatives. I used to find that shit depressing, but nowadays I find it hilarious when it’s caused by the same people saying 'SGR shouldn’t be expected past Naivasha because that part of the country has no economic value.
