Email me what your game plan is/would be...

gerro12001(at)yahoo.com

You can do it part time as long as you show the guy(s) living there what to do in your absence.

In closely related issue, I need advise on farmhands/shamba boy. Before I started my small Agri-business,
- in my simple way-I was very excited by the fact that, I will employ atleast one person hence contributing in alleviating
un-employment. In a span of 6 months, am looking for 4th guy as the first three have left.

The task at hard is not as much demanding and the farm has electricity, water, food and accommodation all provided for free.
Salary increment has proved not to be the magic card.

Any guideline on how much does one have to part with for such cadre?.
Anyone knows of a bureau which is reliable?

@tinker, least qualification for a serious agribusiness employee should be a diploma level. A drop out chap cannot think ukulima ni biashara but thinks ni kazi ya mkono. With like 15k you can get a good person. Lowly pad chaps have no commitment as they can always make similar cash elsewhere.

Is farming a viable investment for someone who's not in the country? If it is, what measures can be put inplace so that one can get good returns?

I think long distance farming for lack of a better word is doable. Shida ni kupata watu trustworthy who will not be taking 2 sets of your milk to 2 different accounts (yako na yao)or selling your kondoos at night. A lot of diasporians have very productive land but everytime they start a project with people at home, the output is always negative, if only someone in Kenya can start a bureau of Farm Managers and hire them to work on these lands.

Have you thought of leasing? If so we can chat in about two months when I put my house in order. Where exactly is the land? Or we can do a joint venture.
