The flowers grown mostly under irrigation in greenhouses. Kenya is very advanced. Our horticulture industry competes with likes of Isreal and Netherlands.. I saw Ghana flowers are grown in the forest .

so you have money to waste under irrigation to grow flowers that will fetch you just 1.5 billion plus tea

while you spend 4 to 6 billion on food importation for kenyans?

If you are advance in Agriculture, you will be a bread basket in East Africa

no deflection

rvp20182:
Look at our neighbors Ethiopia and see how badly they are doing. The people suffering in Kenya live in extreme weather conditions.

You very funny

Danielnino00:


And to think that they have good lands where they grow tea and flowers..

What's stopping them from growing crops that their citizens can actually consume? ..not the type that will fetch the government quick money...

Importing maize and beans is cheaper than growing it. Cash crops brings in more returns. But again, you left school too early to grasp simple concepts.

My friend that about half the forex you receive from COCOA!!!!. And that is flowers alone. And we plant it in maybe 10,000 acres only. It called high-value cops. It s 100,000 people directly and 2M indirectly.

Kenya is slowly moving to become world biggest flower farm... we already control 40% of EU market...Dubai flower market is like 90% from Kenya.

Kenya is not your typical 3rd world country

They have this situation where they import 4 to 6 billion dollars of food while they sit on arable land and grow tea and flowers that fetch them 1.5 billion dollars.

Any sane thinking person will call this Insanity.

But what do i care or know, There are no sane thinking people in Kenya.

Try to be honest, stop making up numbers from your rear end.

Just30:
dumb dumb

semi Arid does not mean the land is not Arable

Dummy, you need more than just land to farm. Farming is not drilling for oil.

They don't understand how we have turned 10% of Arable land without minerals to build a modern economy.

Kenya flowers in 2000 - were just about 50M dollars - now it's worth 1.5B plus - in export.

Kenya is now the 4th largest flower exporter - and slowing moving to the the top.

you are still saying the same nonsense

why would well thinking human being use fertile lands to grow flowers and tea that they just earn 1.5 billion dollars from combine
while they get hungry yearly and their country spend 4 to 6 billion dollars to import food?

anyone with a right thinking mind knows that he has access to a bigger food market in Kenya

than then small teat and flowers market.

It's not possible to farm in arid parts of Kenya. We can give you tutorials on crop and livestock rearing if you like. Free of charge as always.

shma.

Even if u hide under a dozen cloaks, ur mumuness will always point u out.

Flowers are not grown on fertile land. This is not Ghana forest. They are grown in intensive irrigated greenhouses. You only industry that you can be proud of is cocoa..gold and rest are nonsense...now look at our flower industry..20yrs ago...we were doing about 50M dollars of export..now we are doing 1.5B dollars. Horticulture as the sector is 3B dollars...already exceed your cocoa.

You can grow useless yams, maize and others - and we will come buy them

You can be a fraud if you want but not on Kenyan affairs. Don't pull numbers from your rump without a source.

So you can use the same technology to grow food

If it grows, then the land is fertile.

your flower export is 1 billion and tea export one billion.

The question was, why leave a 6 billion dollars food market and grow tea and flower than fetch you 1.5 to 2 billion dollars in good years?



you've been dodging that question


we are talking about food and you are talking about flowers
That is how worthless your entire agric sector is.
The 5 million people going hungry in Kenya, would they eat flowers?

it is a food problem

food is always cheap except in Kenya
because it has to be imported.

You guys are underutilising your lands to grow things that does not make you money.
while you spend huge forex that you always have to borrow to import food.

you are sitting on arable lands, grow food.
Give irrigation access to the people

No press/media freedom obviously your government does not allow media to report it

Just like they not reporting cases and deaths of covid19

Tanzania and censorship goes hand in glove

Tanzania has no credibility, it starts from the crazy president
