Maize has no profit at all

That's 2800x15 harvesting season
That's 42k
Now let's do farming calculation
First unalima acre 4500
Unalima ya pili ikuwe into fine tillth 4000
Seeds 5 x950 4750
Planting fertilizer 100kg (za duka 6500 per 50kg that's 13k)
Now those who will do plantation 5k
Hujaweka ridge Kwa shamba after kulima that's another 4k
Now UpTo there 30,500
After plantation, you'll do two weeding at ksh4000 each that's 8k
38500
You'll need fertilizer for top dressing another 5000 hapo 43,500
You'll still need harvesters, transportation to home , grinding and etc
You'll use UpTo 60k .
You don't get any profit update 20 bags
I say no to maize plantation..if you say mara utakeep Hadi Bei ishoot heri ubuy Kwa farmers and keep and resell and that's business.. leave farming alone
Mara utalima peke yako oh oh .. that's not professional

Why are you building a residential house at 28? What will you be doing at 48? Do we really have financial advisors for these young people! You believe this nonsense that it is a shame to rent? Or some other nonsense that renting is expensive? Sit down with a proper financial advisor leave street talk on the street.
Rent anywhere you want and invest your savings. You will build when you are 45! If you build at 28 you with either break that house in 20 years or you will not even want to look at it.

Why do borrowers in Kenya pay an interest rate of 18% to 22% for loans yet in China the interest rate is 3%. How will a kenyan company that is borrowing to expand its manufacturing technology or equipment compete with a chinese company that is borrowing 1 billion dollars at 3%?
