My last project was about the introduction of macadamia farming in my home area which is actually known for citrus farming e.g. mangoes and oranges. I actually realized that Macadamia farming only does well in areas that coffee is grown. The leading macadamia exporter in the world are now in research to introduce seedlings for my home area type of soil and climate. I actually did plant some seedlings last week and it's been ok for now. Also HASS AVOCADO farming has started bearing fruit with farmers getting some income.

I live in the rural area called Makueni where Mango and orange farming is done. For the last 3 years, the citrus fruit farming has been on the decline so there has to be an initiative to introduce farm produce for export. Two ideas came to my mind. First is HASS AVACADO farming or Macadamia farming the latter having the most potential to boost the farmers income Currently 1 KG of raw macadamia nut is $18 from the farms). I will be visiting KENYA NUT COMPANY to check the variety of seedlings they have to experiment them in my farm. N;B Macadamia does well where coffee is grown my area does well with citrus fruit farming. Kenya nut however have seedlings that can do well in my home area. With the funds , i will buy the seedlings and get experts on how to plant and water since i already have access to water in my rural home.
