She is such a teacher. I love her. She will succeed in anything she does because of her curiosity for information and her ability to remain a student!

[@seraphariel1364]

This woman should offer online workshops. Her knowledge is extensive. She should make it another source of income. And it will help a lot of ppl become independent at the same time. Thank you Lynn for bringing her knowledge to your platform. 🙏💖

❤❤❤❤

[@antoinelusamba7015]

Honestly my sisters I am from DRCongo. But I learned a lot and good things about on how to do planting avocado from seed to bear fruit which is very important for people like us the beginner in avocado fields. My country DRCongo is not at all near of your one Kenya because my country people only have differents business to follow. Thank you very much for you all people doing farming. Merci beaucoup et bonne chance.

[@wanguindungurecheal]

Merci aussi ma soeur, j'aime aussi l'agriculture, nous avons beaucoup appris❤

[@godfreymugah8798]

Lady knows her stuff. And she was very quick to recognize her team's contribution to the success at 1:30:16. She deserves her success and the sky is the limit

[@fav24254]

She made me do my 20 acres orchard.I was inspired by her

[@gitgenKE]

Excellent, which trees did you plant?

[@mutenyotimothy3242]

Here in Uganda, I saw her plant it and now she is reaping. Very inspiring, hope soon to follow those footsteps. Thank @Lynn for bringing us such stories. Thank my Kenyan sisters and brothers.

[@robertmuiruri550]

This mum is a blessing to us. She is so good in what she does and she is generous to share her wisdom

Best teacher and you can see how passionate she is in sharing her knowledge. No need ya going ukibahatisha she has given the BEST information. Thank you so much God bless.

[@lizmukui2369]

Grace was my boss many years ago, a go-getter and I am not surprised to see what she is doing and her success.

[@boohookidscreations8003]

Grace is such a courageous and visionary woman. Her journey of farming is simply remarkable, I doubt I could have made it with all the setbacks. She deserves all the fruit from her labor, she have done exemplary opening up this new frontier in avocado farming.

[@kapembwasikazwe8000]

I'm really inspired. I left office work into the mud for farming. I've a few Hass Avocado plants and pushing hard to scale up. Thanks.

[@smugure]

The best person to tell you about Avocado production - I have witnessed her journey from seedling to market. Well done Grace!

[@lumokip1525]

Lynn ,this woman is my inspiration,karakuta farm boss...I got some avacado yard because of her,...God bless her and your channel

[@angelnaomivictory5096]

Ooooh am really motivated in Farming, shes is great for giving free advice, may God continue to prosper her.

[@mikengaruiya2529]

I have toured several Avocados farms but none beats this one. . The farmer has her craft well planned, articulated and homework well done. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. This is Avocado 101 manual. Lynn you interviews are well mastered, hata wewe 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@chibesamutale568]

Oh wow I love this one this woman is the reason I have decided to try avocado back in Zambia and my intention is to visit her before I formalise my project

[@Happy-go-l]

Where can I contact her I am in Nairobi myself and very interested in ovacado market

[@chibesamutale568]

I think her contacts were shared in the link to the video I also plan to visit her

[@lincolnmwangi2150]

One of the most informative episodes. Proud of this great farmer.

[@wogutejames4935]

Very good show, I have followed her since she started in 2018. The truth that has not been told in this video is that this venture is very expensive...it's not a poor person crop to grow...it's such an investment

[@FreshMuthokoi]

Thanks Lynn. I loved the show. We have just planted some 700 hass avocado trees in muranga, and hope in 2 years we will be harvesting some fruits.

[@TheMKTube]

Congrats on the 700 trees :) is it possible for foreigners to buy land and plant it or setup pack house? Any issues with crime etc?

[@NalukengeBirungi]

Wali

[@gsotheblessedone6310]

Hass avocado also can stay longer after harvest compared to our own local avocado,I once worked in kitchen in Dubai could notice that , I love the fact she said first check out on market before planting

[@jeffersonmwangemi8567]

At least....Lynn... today you have interviewed someone the industry I am in... that great woman is on another level....we like what she does

[@irenenyoni8921]

You woman don't make me laugh, getting the money when you are old. I enjoyed your conversation very informative and helpful. Thank you so much. 👏🏽

[@catherinewangarithuku8676]

Wow Lynn ,tell her to do more KZbin videos,we ,the upcoming hass avocado farmers rely so much on her advice.

[@skinnyzebra8626]

She does have one but I don’t remember the name coz that’s where I first saw

[@Tulip879]

Where can I get a Hass avocado plant?

[@AboveandBeyondAviation1]

She is very passionate. Aspiring to follow her footsteps, as a new farmer.

[@Moon.wairimu.comedian]

So beautiful how urban agriculture,agroecology and food sovereignty can be seen in this all together. Also I just love love how agriculture has unveiled diverse opportunities ❤

[@Grace-W]

Agri tourism is one for young people to consider. This is an example of a beautiful well managed farm to take tourists.

[@DAVIDBENJAMINGATSHEN-il8nt]

She is a natural teacher. God bless her work. I'm in South Africa yes, we are a serious avocado producer from Mpumalanga, Limpopo and KwaZulu 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

[@kennethokumu6375]

Excellent avocado supply chain education, I have enriched my avocado knowledge, she is a true educator 💯 love it! Great content Lyn.

[@leena6744]

Congartulations Karakuta! I am inspired and impressed! Very charming too and well spoken.

[@cynthiagachoka7736]

I loooove listening to these resourceful ladies. I keep on listening to Grace and i see her love and passion in farming. She is sharp and her willingness to share all these information is amazing. May God continue blessing the work of her hands. May her business and family prosper. Thanks Lynn.

[@earwicker8821]

Very informative and got some lessons to be learned from her experience in growing avocado. Regarding the altitude for growing avocados, as far as I know Hass is guatemalan type of avocado that need cool climate to grow that's why in tropical countries it needs higher altitude in this case above 1,500 meter above sea level. Some of avocados can grow in hot climate and mostly are west indian type. Therefore in Kenya Hass need higher altitude meanwhile in Spain it can be grown in lower altitude.

[@MburawaUK]

I am loving how we are embracing farming as a sector and involving our children to carry on the legacy. 🎉 Learnt alot.

[@ceciliandunge7038]

I like her sincerity. I will look for her for more info🙏

[@martinagbor7886]

Lynn I am a Cameroonian living in London, watching you for a while, this is the best. The lady Avocado farmer is a gift to Kenya. My Goodness I wish we have someone like this lady in Cameroon. Cameroon is a huge empty fertile land country, lacking people like this lady.

[@ruthmwangi6690]

just like Esther Muchemi said never have a plan B must be plan A and A only

[@nyikasplace9886]

VERY shallow

[@janegathiaka4490]

Grace is a real gem. Thanks a lot for being generous with information...God bless gal

[@stevenoprong8213]

This was another heart-warming conversation with Mrs. Karanja, i last saw her when she used to have "Green Gold" on KZbin as well, am very encouraged by her commitment and determination looking at the milestones she has taken. I hope to visit her farm one day in Kiambu. And I have faith I will also start my farm in Uganda one day. Thanks. Lynn for the show.

[@agribongahub]

This a very good and informative lesson. Am currently taking MSc Agricultural Extension Education and yes as the agriculture people information taught may not align especially on the spacing that's where tacit knowledge from experience comes in. The ministry should invest in farm visit training from successful agriventures.

[@nelsonwillybasaalidde2788]

Hi from South Africa. This is very informative and thank you @LynnNgugi for your style of interview, you as pertinent questions and allow the interviewee space to express oneself. Your level of attentiveness and subsequent/flow of questions shows you were listening to the answers given, you do not just blurt out pre-written questions and let your mind wonder off but rather you took us the subscibers right under that tree and we were listen and asking through you. To the farmer, thank you for the passion shown and not gate keeping information. Kenya, we love you....I also picked up a lot of similarities in pronunciation when you guys switched to yoour local language....strangely I could follow without subtitles🤣

Hyyy Lynn 👋👋, am Soo granted for such a beautiful agricultural method to plan . Am raised at a family where we do farm Hass avoccados at home, we have planted 60 pieces already have been starting to harvest like 3 years nows ,still we ha planted over 3000 piece's of seed plants, quarter of it we have Grafted . The problem is that,where to find for market for a ready Grafted seed plants........

[@carolinemuthoni6514]

Thankyou so much Lynn am inspired to grow Hass

[@gutherema]

She taught well. Nimeelewa. I am in the US, how can I get connected with exporters? I like the idea of identifying a hot commodity and working backwards.

[@gitgenKE]

Institutions in kenya remain exploitative, small scale tea/coffee farmers still get paid less than 100 shillings per kg, decades after being the country's main export products.

[@RascalEd-hw6yw]

The value lies in the finished product unfortunately. As long as farmers keep selling raw products they will be exploited to the end which is quite unfortunate and unfair. However some few farmers get upto $20 per kg for finished coffee

Respect to your great work! FYI Must keep off pests. Avocado have pests especially mearly bug and false coddling moth. These two pests are the main challenges for avocado exports. Get in touch with government bodies AFA- HCD and KEPHIS before venturing for full information otherwise you will get unpleasant shock!
