This will change your mind about Agribusiness || Caleb Karuga

[@mercymimi4022]

Dr Kingori Kenyans badly need the kind of content you are giving. We appreciate your work.

[@annem963]

Please please, if you intend to enter into any Agribusiness...listen to Caleb. The nuggets he is sharing are golden......he is as practical as it gets..... lessons galore from experience.

[@jamesnyorotha8961]

I am Dairy and Pig farmer. I restarted pig farming last year in September. It takes 4 months for pigs to reproduce. Last year, there was a shortage of pigs in the market. Saa hii, ni kunoma. There are plenty of pigs in the market. Crazy times. Luckily, my old man started this in 2008 which has given me the experience. We are currently downsizing and timing the market again. The beauty about dairy is that it is hard to replicate fast enough. Grown steadily since 2019. The coming drought has placed us in great position since we've stored up enough fodder for about a year or more. It's taken us since the drought of 2022 to build up enough fodder. Great conversation here

[@annem963]

What exactly do you mean by Pigs take 4 months to reproduce? From when to when? Secondly, what do you mean by ni kunoma market wise? Where do you sell your pigs??

[@jamesnyorotha8961]

@@annem963 What is reproduction? I sell to farmers choice and regular brokers. There's a lot of pigs around so moving pigs on is taking time.

[@MungaiFacebook]

Thank you

[@annem2980]

​,I have over 340 pigs 🐖 I got a contract with farmers choice to be supplying 20 pokers every month, I've be doing this consistently for the last one year. My goal is to be moving 30 pokers or more monthly. You can't exhaust pigs market.

Ukulima si ushamba iyo imegonga ndipo. These kind of people should be working in making government policies in broad based government.. as cabinet secretariat. But who are we. Good vibes karuga and host Dr kingori.

[@_born84]

Unfortunately people in government/policy influencing positions are the most allergic to new ideas,they always subscribe to the school of thought that "we've always done it this way" 😂😂

Dude is hands on... Very wise man.. Thanks buddy

[@caen279]

Very informed guest

[@adrianteri]

1:00:00 Kingori if you are reading this I'd like you to ask the next guest, Kevit Desai, where/the state institutions like KIE(Kenya Industrial Estates) and most importantly AFC(Agricultural Finance Corporation) that provided cheap loans, inputs and offtake/marketing(which has been a major feature of this episode) with cutting an amount from your bonus from sales of your produce. On the side of publi/gov't they act as a buffer stock absorbing both gluts and releasing product(value-added with Kenyan made technology/machines from Kenyan researchers as importing such is a another big foreign exchange trap) in bad/famine times. You can even argue they can maintain a never changing price on such products this way thus ZERO inflation!

[@kennedyomondi2549]

[@jamesmaingi7403]

We need to have a discussion about the new craze in town-the Dorper sheep and Boer goats farming-and the many expensive trips Kenyans are making to South Africa to bring these prized breeds to Kenya. Could this be the newest scam in town?

[@erickosgey1565]

I think livestock sector is vast, in the early 90's people sought to holstein Fresian cows and to date they are still the best breeds for dairy. I guess this dorper and boer they are seeking will end up improving beef industry in Kenya.

[@clemarkstheone.]

There is something called timing and research of the marketing needs at the moment time and future. Most farm products takes about three to four months to mature upto the point to be picked out.

[@nathi5400]

This was very educative, I would love to visit Mr Caleb's farm, where does he offer farm training?

[@kellyjeff4973]

Preeeeeaaach!!!

[@Kizigira]

That is the fact. Tomato farmers like us know what it means and there is nothing like proportion in farming. Sometimes you may face the reality of farming, the cost of production rise, new diseases came from nowhere increasing the cost of pestsides, the weather plays dirty trick, and finally the demand of the final product dropped while at the same time other producers flood the market, shockingly the price drops and you sell at a throw away price or get all of them perish.

[@philemonmaosa5693]

Great stuff

[@patrickchege2955]

Am a passionate farmer but after few seasons of production... I have come to realise that many of our consumers prefer buying GMO foods coz they are cheaper and good looking than buying from me who produce organic produce..😢 e.g Potatoes 🥔 Carrots 🥕 and Peas 🫛

On eating what you produce,.....an owner of a restaurant in town advised us against eating the chicken they sell in those restaurants.....iko kitu.....

[@adrianteri]

1:09:40 NOT a mistake but design since the winds of change aka African Independence. Also Farmicists does NOT talk how much this "import-led" growth takes in terms of resources(knowledge, water, pesticides, seeds etc). If you sit back you see how ridiculous the whole exercise is! You export "cash-crops" so you can import a select range of "food crops"(as you've abandoned most indigenous ones) and in most cases those food crops can have more yield in your own African soils without depleting them!
