Wakulima wa parachichi Kenya wapata faida kubwa

[MK254]

Hii ni baada ya kuondoa wapiga dili wa kati waliokua wanawafyonza mihela.

Avocado farmers in Murang’a County in 2016 earned a gross income of Sh500 million, the county has said as it moves to take over the business from brokers.
“It is one of the best performances so far. But it is way below the total potential since most of the proceeds were middle-men driven,” said Governor Mwangi wa Iria on Monday.

The best performance was posted by the new Hash variety whose gross sales was Sh21 million.

“This was a result of the county government severing brokers’ influence on the Hash variety. We grouped farmers into regional producer groups and established a value addition plant in Maragua sub-county. The result was succeeding in capping minimum guarantee price per piece of Hash avocado at Sh8 up from the middlemen’s price of Sh1.50 a piece,” he said.

This year the county plans to take over the whole avocado sector and register all farmers into an umbrella union expected to provide farmers with inputs, extension services as well as marketing.

The governor said, so far, the county had succeeded in eradicating diseases that have in the past adversely affected returns from the crop.

“In 2014, we had an outbreak of a disease known as phytophthora, which claimed nearly 40 per cent of avocado production.

“Out of the average 1, 500 tonnes that we expected as harvest, we only managed 800 tonnes,” he said.

Inafaa na kule Mtwara muige huu mfumo wa kuondoa wapiga dili wa kati kwenye zao la Korosho. Niliona wakulima wanateseka sana.

Inafaa na kule Mtwara muige huu mfumo wa kuondoa wapiga dili wa kati kwenye zao la Korosho. Niliona wakulima wanateseka sana.

Hili kwa huku linawasumbua sana wakulima, si wa korosho tu hata pamba. Bei wanayolipwa wakulima haifiki hata nusu ya waipatao watu wa kati.

Ndo mana mi si muumini wa uchumi wa soko holera (huria). Nchi lazima ilizibiti soko kwa manufaa mapana ya taifa na watu wake.
Mmeonesha mfano, natumai nasi tutaiga. Wataalamu wameshalinenea sana hili.

Na ijulikane kuwa sehemu kubwa ya parachichi la Kenya linatoka Tanzania.
Wamama wamekuwa matajiri na wengine wanasomesha watoto wao kwa njia hii;
ukienda kule kijijini kwetu miti haina tena parachichi, wanayachuma hata kama hayajakomaa.

Hapa ndipo ninapouliza viwanda vyetu je, haviwezi kusindika haya maparachichi?

Madam maeneo yanayozunguka Ml. Kenya maparachichi ni mengi sana. Tena yanakuzwa 'commercially'. Tofauti na hayo ya uswahili huko kijijini kwenu ambayo hakuna 'input' yeyote ile wanayoyafanyia kando na kumuomba tu Mwenyezi Mungu yazae kwa wingi msimu ukifika. Kuna vijiji kule kaunti za Meru na Tharaka Nithi ambapo maparachichi wanayagawa bure tu kama high five.

Kenya also has good climate for growing herbs like basil,Mint,oregano and Rosemary...Especially around Naivasha Nakuru areas...Herbs and spices are low maintenance, high output and more profit..My Kenyan friend is exporting...Inspired and have started on a pilot project..

Uturuki ndiyo importer wa korosho ulaya wakati hakuna mikorosho Uturuki.

Wananunua korosho za kwetu Tandahimba na kuzipeleka Ulaya. Huku kwetu tunamshukuru mtruki anatuwezesha kusomesha watoto na kujenga nyumba bora
