Pixie Orange Farming In Kenya

Pixie orange cultivation is very profitable, with an acre reaching 1.2 million Kenyan shillings per year, Makueni farmers report. These fruits are sold at an average price of 80 Ksh per kilo at the farm. A well-maintained tree will produce 60 kilograms of fruit per year, and an acre can contain 270 of these trees. The cost of starting an orange pixel farm is one-time and would be around Ksh 150,000. From this start-up capital, he only needs about Ksh 100,000 to buy seedlings and labor initially. The rest is needed over time as it is used to maintain the garden in terms of pest control and watering when needed. Once established, the farm will generate income for you every year for the next 20-30 years.

Bee Farming in Kenya

A single hive can produce up to 20 kilograms of honey per harvest and sells for around 800 Kenyan shillings ($8) per kilogram. Most farmers harvest the hives four times a year, providing up to 64,000 shillings ($628) per hive per year.

Suppose you have ¼ acre of land with 50 hives or 50 hives in a house in your complex. A hive provides 10 kg of honey each season and you have about 3 seasons per year.

This means that a hive gives you 30 kg per year. 50 hives will give you (30*50) kg per year, which is equivalent to 1500 kg of honey per year.

1 kg of honey is sold between 500 Ksh and 700 Ksh. This results in an income between Ksh. 750,000/= to Ksh. 1,050,000/= per year.

Apples Farming in Kenya

Growing apples in Kenya is the best business idea in Kenya, so let's say you start with 200 plants at a cost of 1000 Ksh. With a spacing of 3m by 3m, it can comfortably occupy a farm of one hectare. This will cost approximately Ksh 200,000 plus an additional Ksh 50,000 for transport and operating management. The total is therefore 250,000 Ksh.

The harvest season occurs every 9 to 13 months. As each mature tree bears at least 300 fruits, a conservative estimate of 60,000 (300X200) fruits per harvest would certainly be a fair bet.

Therefore, each fruit is sold for a minimum of 50 Ksh; making 3,000,000 Ksh. In other words, (60,000 × 50 = 3,000,000) would certainly not be an overestimate.

Snail Farming in Kenya

Farmers who have ventured into snail farming have made a lot of money from the trade, which is gaining popularity in the agribusiness sector.

With a kilo of meat costing Ksh 1500, Heli-Farming (raising edible snails) is proving to be the best business idea in Kenya.

The price is what the Jomo Kenyatta Institute of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) will pay and they are also involved in sludge extraction at Ksh 1,200 per liter with 3,000 snails producing up to 10 liters per week.
