Let’s start with some facts:
Food is life. People must eat daily. Sukuma, spinach, herbs, and fruits move like hotcakes in Kenyan markets.
Urban demand is exploding. Nairobi, Kisumu, Mombasa, Nakuru—every estate has families craving fresh greens and herbs.
Farming is flexible. You can use sacks, buckets, balconies, rooftops, or even containers.
Low risk, high turnover. With Ksh.5,000, if one crop fails, the loss is manageable—you bounce back quickly.
Fast growth. Sukuma, spinach, and herbs mature in weeks, not years. You start earning in as little as a month.
Room to expand. Just like mitumba sellers grow from a few camera pieces to full bales, you can grow from sacks to restaurants and supermarkets.
So stop thinking you need a whole farm. What you need is a hustler’s mentality—and the courage to get your hands dirty.
