Hi good people,

We have tonnes and tonnes of bulb onions ready for market approximately 80KMs from Nairobi. Anyone who has an idea on how to go about this, or even better, any advice? Brokers ?

Talk to major supermarkets to be their suppliers.
Also check into Alibaba web site you may just find buyers.

What about talking to the people at wakulima market? They are also serious brokers and will collect the goods from the farm.

Wakulima market is in Nairobi. It is down Haille selasie avenue next to KFA and KGGCU. These guys are basically major suppliers of vegetables in Nairobi. They are all brokers so don't feel anything when they bargain with you. The onion trucks are normally parked on the back side of the market. Depending on how many Tons you have/acres that were planted, you should be able to get a good price. There has been a shortage but now it's normalizing.

If you choose to go to Wakulima Market you will need strong shock absorbers. U will be required to pay amongst others for security u didn't ask for and that you may not need. All this is informal I hope the place has changed though.
