The world is changing at a very high rate and farmers shouldn’t be left behind. Agriculture is the key propeller of Kenyan Economy. With the current world population almost hitting 8 Billion, farming is no longer for personal consumption but a business; people must eat. There several factors that are making digital farming lucrative. Think of it this way, people must eat and as mentioned earlier the population is increasing due to improved medicines, low mortality rates. Another factor is lifestyle diseases, with inorganic food and working in offices all day, a bigger number is becoming sick and the only way is to eat organic healthy foods. No wonder organic farming is highly recommended and organic foods are the most expensive.
Anybody can become a digital farmer, regardless of land size. It doesn’t matter the size of land that you have, whether you work in an office or self-employed. All what is required is change of perception and the right attitude. We at Oxfarm can sincerely assure you that you won’t go wrong if you do everything right in farming. However, we have realized that people are tied up in their jobs and careers and that is why we have come up with a helping hand where we can provide all the services required; i.e. from farm inputs, manure, farm machinery, labor, etc..
Although we major in tree fruit farming and export, we have highly trained agronomists such as Dickson (commonly known as Mkulima Wa Nyeri) where we can assist farmers with the necessary information about any kind of farming. At the comfort of your home, office or even your car you can login in into our website and order what you need. We are very responsive, and we always assist in the best way possible.
Many are times where you find that a customer has a chunk of land lying idle, but he doesn’t know what to do with it. He doesn’t know where to start, and not because of capital but merely because he doesn’t know where to start, doesn’t even know how farming is profitable.
Let’s take this example, Kenya has at least 45 million people. Assume that each consumes around ¼ kilo of maize flour every day (one meal-ugali/githeri) that translates to 11.5 tonnes a day of ugali which is equivalent to 11.5 tonnes of maize daily. Do you think Kenya will ever satisfy that demand? However, that’s just an assumption but close to what happens daily in terms of maize consumption. Now, do your own math and determine how many liters of milk is consumed daily, how many tons of Wheat flour, etc.. That tells you that demand for agricultural products will always rise as long as population increases.
Another factor still caused by population increase is sub-division of land, you find that our ancestral land has been subdivided in many parts of the country that it can’t be sub-divided any further. What happens is that people stop farming and only construct shelters…the question we beg to ask is, who feeds them?
