Me? Farming?........YES! Here’s how!



Agriculture is the economic backbone of Kenya's economy after the service industry. In an effort to spread the practice of farming, a lot of youth have recently ventured into different farming projects. The results are impressive and many more youth are now taking advantage of the farming opportunities available. Luckily, the market has just grown wider thanks to interactive websites which have been put up to assist the young farmer get market for their products.

With the current unemployment rates recently placed at an all time high of 42%, many youth are looking for alternative opportunities for their livelihood. Previously neglected in search of blue collar jobs, it has proven to be the answer for many unemployed youth.
Some of the opportunities you can exploit are: bee keeping, vegetable farming (green house), tree planting, pig and domestic animals rearing, chicken, eggs, rabbits, cash crops and so much more. Ensure that you do proper research regarding your project before you commence.

In a bid to promote the farmer, HappyMeals has introduced a suppliers section where farmers can sell produce and rare products to the available market. This will be available on the site soon. You are encouraged to enquire about the services by sending an email to info@happymeals.co.ke
In addition to the farmers, suppliers of popular food items that also go in bulk can take advantage of the services. Wholesalers for any food items can also put their products up for customers who prefer bulk shopping. 

Lastly, do hit us up and let’s share your thoughts on farming. We always appreciate the feedback!
