14 profitable agribusiness ideas .

 

By Mohamud Ahmed Jama-

 Agriculture is one of the major sectors in Kenya. This is mainly because the economy of Kenya is agri-based. Gone are the days when agriculture was seen as an old folk activity.

 Today the young generation actively participates in the growth of agricultural products and expansion of industries. Stakeholders in the sector produce food and come up with creative farming solutions to those that need help. 

Mass sensitization about the importance of agriculture has, in the end, helped curb the rampant unemployment in the country and increased the productivity of farmers. 

Agribusiness ideas in Kenya are beneficial to any individual with potential.  

The major agricultural products in Kenya include tea, coffee, dairy products, horticulture, maize, wheat, sugarcane, beef, pork, and poultry. To be successful in the agribusiness industry, you need to be sharp, creative and fully aware of the upsides and downsides of the stock you want to produce before you start investing. 

Ensure that your product fills the present market gap. 

1. Beekeeping.

 The high demand for honey in the Kenyan market makes beekeeping one of the most profitable businesses today. 

Not many people are brave enough to keep bees even when they think of investing in agriculture in Kenya. This is due to the lack of knowledge and general fear of bees. One great thing about cracking into this business is the little starting costs compared to the returns at the end. 

The first task in beekeeping is getting an appropriate land. Once the area is set, you should acquire essential items like bee suits, smokers and veils. 

2. Dairy farming.

Many people get into dairy farming in Kenya as it is one of the most fruitful agribusinesses in the country.

 Kenyans love taking milk tea and other dairy products. The price of a litre of milk is relatively high in Kenya, although this varies in different parts of the country. 

A litre of milk ranges from Ksh. 60 to Ksh. 100. Processed milk is even more expensive, having a price range of between Ksh. 40 to Ksh. 60 for half a litre. Farmers sell their milk to dairies and milk factories, and so it is guaranteed that there is a steady market throughout. 

3. Hass avocado farming.

 Hass avocado farming is another sought after agribusiness in Kenya. Kenya produces about 15,000 metric tons of avocado every year,

 catering for both local markets and exports. 

Hass avocado farming and other local varieties like Fuerte and the Pinkerton do well for both small scale and large scale farmers. Hass avocados are the best to start with as they take about 3 to 4 years to mature.  2021 One Hass avocado seedling goes for about 150 Kenya shillings. Planting about 200 avocado seedlings in a land slightly large than an acre will give immense earnings once the fruits mature. The price of an avocado fruit usually ranges from 10 shillings to 30 shillings depending on factors such as grading. 

4. Fish farming .

Many Kenyans enjoy eating fish. Unfortunately, the past few years have seen huge water bodies like Lake Victoria, 

Lake Naivasha and other fresh-water lakes have a decrease in fish. The reduction of fish has,

 however, not reduced the demand for fish in the Kenyan market. Fish farming is a profitable business if you understand the basics. 

The most crucial things to consider are the species of fish you want to keep a good source of water and an ideal location for your farm. Ensure that you get fresh fingerlings for a smooth start. 

5. Livestock house construction.  who started small and became successful Poultry farmers, dairy farmers, and all farmers, in general, need housing for their livestock and structures for storing farm produce.

 Livestock house construction is one business that has few people doing it. 

This is because most farmers prefer hiring other people to make farm structures for them.

 Livestock house construction is among the best agribusiness ventures in Kenya if you have carpentry skills and are artistic. You do not need a lot of capital to start this business. You will only need a few tools and an idea on the type of structure fit for particular farmers, and you are good to go. 

 7. Fertilizer distribution .

Many people are hesitant to venture into the fertilizer distribution business as it is majorly controlled by government entities.

 This should not scare you as fertilizer distribution is one of the rare untapped markets. This business does not require much capital,

 unlike other agricultural sectors. The main concerns should be to find quality fertilizer, get suppliers, inquire about factory pricing and get the quotation. Connecting with manufacturers is not too difficult if you ask around. You can also help in the delivery of fertilizers to farmers in rural parts of Kenya. 

 8. Vegetable farming .

When planting, consider the soil around your farm, vegetables that do well in most seasons, the cost of planting and the cost of production. Some vegetables cost less and are easy to plant but when it comes to selling they bring you little profits.

 Mushrooms are great plants to invest in. One advantage of mushrooms is that they take a small space to plant and require little effort to plant.

 Mushroom farming is a lucrative business to start with 50K in Kenya. Mushrooms are among the most expensive vegetables in Kenyan supermarkets, grocery stores, and open markets. Other profitable greens include collard greens, cabbages, kales, spinach, pumpkin vegetables, and cilantro.

 9. Fresh juice Drinking .

fresh juice on a hot sunny day or for breakfast is healthy and delightful. The recent past has seen mass awareness of the benefits of fresh juice compared to processed juice.

 This has increased the demand for the product in the market.

 There are dozens of fruits you can sell that provide different nutritional values.  production in Kenya Some of the fruits that do well in the Kenyan market include oranges, pineapples, mangoes, passion, beetroots, sugarcane, bananas, avocado, watermelon, and the papaya. Setting a stall for selling fresh juice is an excellent way of making money. You can also plant the fruits and look for juice vendors that you can sell to.

 10. Tree tomato (Tamarillo)

farming   production of tree tomato ranges from 3 to 6 years. This depends on a variety of factors like the cultivar. 

Tamarillo has a life expectancy of about 12 years. The fast-growing tree is a rare goldmine for many Kenyan farmers. Tamarillo can be grown in almost every soil type and climatic condition. The tree grows up to 2-5 meters high, forming one upright trunk with lateral branches. 

Tamarillo farming is an excellent money-making investment that only requires little resources to start especially for those who do not know how to start an agribusiness. 

11. Bull rearing .

The average bull fully matures in about two years. Bull rearing is an excellent investment as it provides excellent meat and semen for artificial insemination.

 Dual-purpose breeds like Sahiwal, Simmental, East African Zebu, and the Boran have quality meat. Beef production is also sourced from other beef breeds like Hereford, Charolais or Angus. Breeds that have premium semen include Red cliff, Danshot, Red Torpedo, Montreux, Broekhuizen Bart, and Heuvel Bulykin. To have exceptional bulls, ensure that they ingest decent feeds, have a good housing structure and take enough water. Several agribusiness incubators in Kenya also offer guidance on bull rearing.

 12. Poultry farming .

The demand for chicken will never decrease thanks to the many fast food joints across towns in Kenya. Poultry farming is one of the most popular agribusinesses in Kenya due to the significant profits this type of farming has. Poultry farming offers both meat and eggs.

 can also keep ducks and geese together with the chicken. 

This is a business that you are guaranteed to make money with little resources if you are thinking about investing in agribusiness. Other than the fast-food joints, other areas that need products from poultry farmers include schools, bakeries, restaurants, and supermarkets. Farmers have the option of having free bread chicken, commonly known as kienyeji, or broilers. 

13. Agricultural consultancy services .

Many people want to get into agriculture or get information about products but do not know where to start. If you are well versed in everything in the agricultural sector, setting up a consultancy firm would be a prudent decision that would make you good money.

 Your knowledge and experience in agriculture will help many people get to be informed as you charge for the information on how to invest in agribusiness in Kenya.

 You can offer your services to both farmers and institutions that seek to invest in agriculture. All you need to do is register with the necessary 

 14. Animal feed production Poultry, dairy, pig, goat and sheep farmers need feeds for their animals.

 Producing animal feeds is easy and one of the most profitable agribusiness ideas in Kenya, especially if you have your materials like bean barns, silage, lucerne, hay, maize stalks, and napier grass. You can arrange with local farmers and sell the surplus feeds once you have produced feeds for your animals. You can make the prices affordable to attract more farmers. 

The average bag of layers marsh goes for around Ksh. 2500 - 3000 while a bag of the marsh for dairy cows goes for around Ksh. 1000 - 1500. If you can produce more than ten bags daily, then you will make some good cash.

 15. Sheep And Goat Farming.

The labour for sheep and goat rearing is not as demanding as bull rearing. Sheep are kept for their meat and wool while goats are kept for their milk and meat. Those are not the only benefits as the animals also produce manure that you can use on your land or sell to other farmers.

14 fikrado ganacsi oo faa'iido leh.

 

By Maxamuud Axmed Jaamac-

 Beeraha waa mid ka mid ah qaybaha ugu waaweyn Kenya. Tani waxay u badan tahay sababtoo ah dhaqaalaha Kenya wuxuu ku salaysan yahay beeraha. Waa tagay waagii beeralayda loo arki jiray hawlo qadiimi ah.

 Maanta jiilka da'da yar ayaa si firfircoon uga qaybqaata kobaca wax soo saarka beeraha iyo ballaarinta warshadaha. Daneeyayaasha waaxdu waxay soo saaraan cunto waxayna la yimaadaan xal-abuurnimo beeralayda kuwa u baahan caawimada.

Wacyigelin ballaaran oo ku saabsan muhiimadda beeralayda ayaa, ugu dambeyntii, gacan ka geysatay joojinta shaqo la'aanta baahsan ee dalka iyo kor u qaadida wax soo saarka beeralayda.

Fikradaha ganacsiga beeraha ee Kenya ayaa faa'iido u leh shakhsi kasta oo karti leh.

Wax soo saarka beeraha ee ugu waaweyn Kenya waxaa ka mid ah shaaha, kafeega, caanaha, dhirta, galleyda, sarreenka, sonkorta, hilibka lo'da, hilibka doofaarka, iyo digaagga. Si aad ugu guulaysato warshadaha agribusiness, waxaad u baahan tahay inaad noqoto mid fiiqan, hal abuur leh oo si buuxda uga warqabto kor u kaca iyo hoos u dhaca saamiyada aad rabto inaad soo saarto ka hor intaadan bilaabin maalgashiga.

Hubi in alaabtaadu ay buuxisay farqiga suuqa ee hadda jira.

1. dhaqashada shinida.

 Baahida sare ee malabka ee suuqa Kenya ayaa ka dhigaysa dhaqashada shinnida mid ka mid ah ganacsiyada ugu faa'iidada badan maanta.

Dad badan kuma dhiiran karaan in ay shinni ilaashadaan xitaa marka ay ku fekerayaan in ay maalgashadaan beeraha Kenya. Taas oo ay ugu wacan tahay aqoon yarida iyo cabsida guud ee shinida. Hal shay oo weyn oo ku saabsan dildilaaca ganacsigan ayaa ah kharashyada bilowga yar marka la barbar dhigo soo celinta dhamaadka.

Hawsha ugu horeysa ee dhaqashada shinnidu waa helitaanka dhul ku haboon. Marka aagga la dejiyo, waa inaad heshaa alaabta muhiimka ah sida suudadka shinnida, kuwa sigaarka cabba iyo xijaabka.

2. dhaqashada caanaha.

Dad badan ayaa gudaha Kenya u gala dhaqashada caanaha maadaama ay tahay mid ka mid ah ganacsiga ugu faa'iidada badan beeraha dalka.

 Kenyaanka ayaa jecel qaadashada shaaha caanaha iyo waxyaabaha kale ee caanaha laga sameeyo. Qiimaha litirka caanaha ayaa ah mid aad u sarreeya dalka Kenya, inkastoo ay ku kala duwan yihiin gobollada dalka.

Litir caano ah ayaa u dhexeeya Ksh. 60 ilaa Ksh. 100. Caanaha la warshadeeyay xitaa waa ka sii qaalisan yihiin, iyagoo leh qiimo kala duwan oo u dhexeeya Ksh. 40 ilaa Ksh. 60 nus litir. Beeraleydu waxay caanahooda ka iibiyaan warshadaha caanaha iyo caanaha, sidaas darteed waxaa la hubaa in uu jiro suuq joogto ah oo dhan.

3. Wuxuu leeyahay beero avocado.

 Hass avocado beerashada waa mid kale oo laga raadiyo ganacsiga beeraha gudaha Kenya. Kenya waxa ay soo saartaa ilaa 15,000 metric ton oo avocado ah sanad walba.

 14. Wax soo saarka quudinta xoolaha Digaagga, caanaha, doofaarka, riyaha iyo idaha beeralayda waxay u baahan yihiin quudin xoolahooda.

 Soo saarista quudinta xoolaha waa mid sahlan waana mid ka mid ah fikradaha ganacsi ee ugu faa'iidada badan Kenya, gaar ahaan haddii aad haysato alaabtaada sida barnnada digirta, silage, lucerne, caws, caws galley, iyo cawska napier. Waxaad la habayn kartaa beeralayda deegaanka oo aad iibin kartaa quudinta dheeraadka ah marka aad soo saarto quudinta xoolahaaga. Waxaad ka dhigi kartaa qiimaha mid la awoodi karo si aad u soo jiidato beeraley badan.

Celcelis ahaan bacda lakabyada marshku waxay u socotaa agagaarka Ksh. 2500 - 3000 halka bacda maraqa ee lo'da caanuhu u socoto agagaarka Ksh. 1000 - 1500. Haddii aad soo saari karto in ka badan toban bac maalintii, markaas waxaad samayn doontaa xoogaa lacag caddaan ah oo wanaagsan.

 15. Adhiga iyo Dhaqashada.

Dhaqashada idaha iyo riyaha uma baahna sida dibida oo kale. Idaha waxaa lagu hayaa hilibkooda iyo dhogortooda halka ariguna caanahooda iyo hilibkooda lagu hayo. Faa'iidooyinkaas oo kaliya maahan maadaama ay xooluhu sidoo kale soo saaraan digada aad ku isticmaali karto dhulkaaga ama aad ka iibin karto beeralayda kale.
