Anyone have any ideas or contacts for this? I have some land, and am willing to farm on contract...ie the buyer of the produce supplies me with seed, fertilizer etc and my input is the land and labour. Any variation of this is welcome. Any thoughts or experiences? Business opportunities are like buses,there's always another one coming

Any thoughts or experiences? @KulaHappy, Where is the land and what's the acreage? This will provide a guide for leads. "Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things that matter least." Goethe

I can give you some seeds, but si umechelewa for this rains? I usually check to see the farmer has prepared his land where he will plant if i am to give away seeds to be sure he sells back to me otherwise i have to sell. Tuongee before next rains. Ras Kienyeji Man

Maybe @Kularaha will not rely on rain?His land may be near Athi or Chania rivers?

Ni sawa although we are very conservationist in our approach, we promote use of irrigation only to "boost" a few weeks before rains, or overcome early stages of drought to ensure good harvest. Kenya's food problem is mostly related to food PRICE/value addition chain and not rainfall, pests, e.t.c we also prefer using organic mbolea kwa hivo time ya kujitayarisha, unless i send my wakulima "techies" to thika to start hunting for mboleo.

Currently just a couple of farmers near my shags. I can send you the seeds IF YOU ARE SERIOUS and you can commit to send back a larger amount of seeds back after harvest (easy) by matatu, you can pick them at the ol kalau (mololine) stage kama parcel. Try to plant a small place first, a quarter acre hivi, one acre. Reason being sale of "kizungu" seeds is regulated under kephis/affa (including the obvious expected to be scheduled plants in the delayed constitutional laws), but mine are organic Ibisnian indigenous FOOD traded normally(very valuable), under the 2010 constitution, section 2 (culture), indigenous seeds, i can distribute culturally( we are no1 experts in traditional mt.Kenya seed trade) , you will also be left with a stock of seeds, we will also buy back the produce and give you directions/videos on how to plant online. If we market well in Kenya, or if direct flights to USA come to Kenya as Obama said soon, you might become a bit more 'cam=-fartable' before 2017. In simple words "AT YOUR OWN RISK", "BUYER BEWARE"! Yes! Ras Kienyeji Man
