hello elders from the region. So my family has about five acres of land huko molo.being an okuyu from murang’a people are more paranoid kujenga huko so for all that time the land imekuwa ikilrasiwa for 15k per acre.i find that amount too low na naona pia mm naeza jaribu ukulima anf so my question is what should i start with and the expected returns…the land is about 10km from Molo town karibu na place inaitwa Nyakinyua.

I don’t know the weather in Molo, but kama Kuna baridi panda viazi. Kitunguu pia utaweza. I’m not sure which maize variety you also plant there, ya Murima ni 6 months, ya Northrift ni whole year.
Ensure you got water all time, piped, pumped and stored.
If all fails or you get busy, panda miti and forget

Panda viazi. Follow the guidelines provided by agriculture research hubs(e.g. A.D.C. Molo) on how to farm potatoes to the letter. The weather in Molo is favorable. Expect 50–100 bags per acre if you follow the guidelines exactly.

Huku ni cabbage na viazi hukuwa…disadvantage is that season ya kuvuna brokers hukuja kununua at throw away prices coz kila mtu amevuna

we resided in Molo for a minute, place inaitwa Ndenderu A, my shopping center was Rafiki and Turi.
that place does well with, potatoes, cabbages, kale, carrots, beets, before early 2000’s, we couldn’t grow beans, but afterwards, the place warmed up and we could plant.
large scale farming, wheat and barley. livestock, daily cattle and merino sheep will do.
pyrethrum used to be a thing, but the prices went to the dogs.

Molo its potato place,
U will also need a budget of 15k pa arce to start,
Hii ni budget local seeds sio za agriculture dpt,
U will also need someone trustworthy to look at ua farm, sio shamba boi and u can’t do it while away,
Cause u will need kupanda , kulima, kupalilia,etc.
Ujanja ni u start with a small piece 1/2 acre , ask the one farming to give u small. Piece as u want ua home food, then hapo ndo uta learn about fertiliser and other terms , … otherwise if u invest ua cash blindly utalia
