      Not sure they intend to fully privatize it. Probably what they have in mind is a viable PPP. Investors in question here are just farmers who need land. Such arrangements have been happening all over the country. You are ready to farm but have no land. You lease a piece of land for a year or so for a certain amount or for a percentage of the harvest. In this case, farmers would be "leasing" from the gov't. At least, that's my understanding, Peter.

    what needs to be done is switch crops to ensure soli fertility. Growing peas, beans, sunflower on a rotational basis this improves health of the maize crop, prevents diseases and thus less spraying the crops with chemical sprays. I just hope these people can consult cropnuts kenya to show them how to rotate crops and the benefits of crop rotation and conservation agriculture of non till. Please get wioth crop nuts and have david jones the best crop scientist who experiments on different methods of growing crops for bigger and healthier yields

    28-90kg bags per acre, cost of production 45k, profit margin 33k(~70%), price per bag ~3200. After pumping billions of taxpayer money in putting infrastructure and demonstration of viability there would be no favorable change on price of Unga for mwananchi.
