There is always this joke that the easiest way to become a millionaire is to plant 1 million cabbages and sell each at 1 bob.

Anyway, on a serious note, 1 acre can have 30,000 cabbages and with the price of one cabbage currently at 80bob in Nairobi, it means one can make Ksh 2,400,000 in just 3 months.

I am seriously looking for 1 acre of land to lease within 100km of Nairobi to try and actualize this.

Lets give those expenses 400k. That leaves 2m.

Of course timing is quite important. Wholesaling at 40bob would still give you about 1m after factoring expenses. Even selling at a throw away price of 20bob will give you 600k. This after just 3 months.

Right @bigchick. And also avoid flat land. Could be disastrous when it floods

Ukifanya borehole jaribu somethingelse.Kama matunda melons, maembe , paipai nakathalika.

Sijasiskia cabbage ya kutoka Mayakos.

I know of places pande za Nyeri, Laikipia, etc where farm-gate prices are 3bob each.
Badala ya kulima, why not become a middleman/broker yourself?

Guys dont burst his bubble I know your being real but imagine if he fails to panda then at that time 3 months down the line cabbages arent there....he,ll kick himself for not trying...@jaggernaut go for it if you do it well huwezi toka bure...but lemmie put a spin to this...how about 1million onions an acre takes 120k-150k depending on spacing,the best thing about onions is that you have 4-6 months before they go bad...am planning to do a sizeable amount il return with my margins in this thread...

Shida ni kupata market

na ukijietea marikiti/other markets?

@Jagger, Wachana na cafishi. If the people of Kimende and kinangofu have not made it, there must be something fishy with cafishi. It must be the way they are Maji maji .

Try onions instead as you can harvest and store as you market.
