Overview
I am an Agribusiness Specialist. Farmer. Advocate for Youth & Women in Agribusiness. Founder of a large Facebook Community group in Kenya called Farming In Kenya. Through the Facebook page Farming in Kenya I have managed to improve the livelihoods of farmers in Africa as well as make more youths and women into Agribusiness. The page has helped share much relevant information with the public on Agribusiness. Currently pursuing a Diploma in Agribusiness Management from Egerton University. A passionate agribusiness manager with expertise in value addition.
Experience
Having an opportunity to work close to nature is the best thing that can happen to any agriculture enthusiast. I was raised in a farm in Western Kenya and I am currently doing horticultural crops for export to the European markets. With over 10 years of experience working on large agricultural lands, I am well informed about the intricacies of farming and I have a special talent in handling irrigation channels.
Partner(s)
At this moment I am alone and will be farming alone. But open to any partnerships that may come along way as this brings in different experiences and talents in crop husbandry and proper land utilization for maximum results.
Farm Vision
Following my complete knowledge on management of farm operations and finances. This is a clear sign that I am able to set up a proper plan to enable the farm achieve its goals and maximizing on the ability to produce a lot to feed the community and even to sell to the outside market. With my other Business Management knowledge it will be advisable to market the farm produce in big numbers online to enable reach of the far markets. The biggest satisfaction to every farmer is achieving results and serving happy community.
Relationship with Farm Owner
By developing a mutually beneficial relationship with the farm owner. This will enable harmonized working relationship and as well the aspect of sharing of knowledge and different practices which can lead to long lease or eventual acquisition in the long run.
