Nikama tu hizi ma double-cab zimejaa huku ambazo huitwa “poor mans SUV”
Hata mafefe na mashoya itabeba. Bora mwenye gari ni Njoroge ama Njaramba
Vitunguu zilikua around 8 tons na zimebaki around 1.5 tons. Its been a struggle to sell at good prices hadi nikaongeza delivery to maket.
Bei ya onions pale Carrefour ni 68 a kg while 3 months ago it was about 250, then everyone and their grandma rushed to plant, sasa iko over supply
Kuna kuanga na price ya sale to consumer na sale to reseller. Kuna wale expert timers sasa hive ndio wako na vitunguu zitakua in the market in 2 months over supply ikisha watapata bei ya 120 per Kg. Saa hii kupata 50 per Kg is considered good.
Hizi ni shida AI inaeza fix ukuwe unakula fiti kila season
Kumbe farming ndio inapea wewe more time to idle in tiktok. Employment is a scam akin to slavery. Next project am venturing into farming full time.
Hii itabeba @Condor kuzipeleka kichinjio kweli?
In Kajiado, Kenya, the most profitable time to plant red onions depends on market demand and climatic conditions. Red onions thrive in warm, dry climates and require careful planning to align harvest with peak market prices. Here’s a general guide:
Optimal Planting Seasons
-
March-April Planting:
- Harvest occurs in July-August, aligning with high market prices due to limited supply. This period benefits from the long rains, reducing irrigation costs.
- Ideal for rainfed onion farming in areas with reliable rainfall.
-
August-September Planting:
- Harvest occurs in December-January, targeting high demand during the festive season.
- Requires irrigation as this falls during the dry season in Kajiado.
-
Off-Season Planting:
- Planting in November-December can lead to harvest in March-April, taking advantage of off-season high prices. However, irrigation is necessary due to limited rainfall during this period.
Key Considerations
- Soil Preparation: Ensure well-drained, fertile soils with a pH of 6.0-6.8. Conduct soil tests before planting.
- Irrigation: Onions require consistent moisture, particularly in the first three months. Drip irrigation is ideal for efficient water use.
- Pest and Disease Management: Watch for onion thrips and fungal diseases like downy mildew.
- Market Timing: Check local market trends to identify periods of high demand and plan planting accordingly.
Local Advice
Engage with agricultural extension officers in Kajiado or local farmer groups for specific insights about rainfall patterns and market trends in the region.
By aligning planting with favorable weather conditions and high-demand periods, you can maximize profitability.
