This would have come with money to construct new terminals, maintenance hangars and a general upgrading of Nairobi into an international class airline hub. Some greedy government officials demanded 50% of the proposed investment capital for them to allow the airline in the country and that is how we lost that golden goose.

Convert the five sugar companies to growing palm oil . Using existing factories to set up processing of palm oil. Sugar farmers in western need to move away from sugar cultivation and into growing palm trees. Leave growing of sugar to the remaining private companies in western and shift growing of sugar to coast region where it takes 9month to mature as opposed to 12 months in western, galana kulalu and some parts of rift and narok can be the new sugar producing areas.

Mr BIDCO Manager crude palm oil is edible, just visit west Africa, the home of the crop. Even industrial PKO is consumed. Trust the west African tummy lol. Congrats on the Kalangala project

High on promises but always ends up as slavery, just like in sugarcane farming. Farmers ought to seek consultancy services from independent agents, seeing that they carry the highest risk and enjoy the least benefits.There will always be risks, hence the need to plan for their mitigation even before the project kicks off. Palm oil from Asia is extremely cheap, and farmers cannot rely on tariff protections to survive.

Western Kenya already grows palm trees and process the oil. But for decades the cartels have enjoyed 90b import market so why grwo palm oil in Kenya. Now things are changing thanks to the ruto govt. Kenya can grow any plant, crop it just takes leadership. It takes putting farmers into groups or cooperatives for economies of scale provide them with good seeds to grow one crop and have processing farcilities. if 200,000 farmers grow an acre of palm oil in their land thats 200,000 acres of palm oil.
