    I am a Finance Graduate but the one venture I want is to export fruits as well. Agriculture is lucrative and there is so much potential for it, our youths are just mesmerized by white collar jobs, to see how much the farming industry has to offer. Even the President is a farmer, my grandparents raised their families on earnings from farming despite being business people and a teacher. Let's diversify our sources of income.

    Great content, but I wish at times you'd ask the more pressing questions, just to be sure they're doing right by our people & land. He says they plant so many trees which is good for the environment, but what he's not saying is that on average, one needs 2,000 liters of water (about 528 gallons of water) to produce a kilo of avocados. So how much water is being starved from the locals, and being channelled to his farm?

    • @motosana1
      @motosana1 3 роки тому +10

      The question should be how much water are we exporting and depleting our water table? Exporting fruits, flowers, vegetables etc creates massive carbon footprint. Makes zero sense to call it organic and then proceed to ruin the environment by depleting the water table and pollution caused in transport and packaging (in plastic I noted or even boxes means trees have been cut),

    Excellent. The Government of Kenya should provide free SGR transportation and handling to Mombasa port for 15 years to spur growth. Gok should also reduce corporate tax for all Agribusiness to 7.5% for 25years and Vat to 5 % for all inputs. All workers in the sector should be excepted from paye for atleast 8 months a year and given free NHIF cover to encourage more investments in the sector. Considering we have surplus power production, this sector should be given free power consumption at all their points of production and handling. Kenya Airways should also be given concessions to offer subsidized rates of upto 45% recouped through taxation obligations to KRA for atleast 9 months a year.
