Sheep Farming in Kenya: The 2026 Commercial Guide to Intensive Mutton Production Sheep farming in Kenya has become a serious business opportunity for farmers who want to move away from traditional cattle rearing. More people in Nairobi, Mombasa, and Kisumu are eating mutton and lamb these days, and hotels and restaurants have added more mutton dishes to their menus. Butchers across the country report that mutton sells faster than beef, which tells you that demand is growing while supply remains limited. The money works out well for farmers who do things right. A ewe can produce lambs every 8 months under good management, and a farmer can sell a fattened lamb when it is 6 to 9 months old. The initial money you need to start sheep farming is lower than what you would need for cattle, and you do not need as much land either. The profit you can make from each acre is often higher than what you would get from cattle. This guide by Farmers Trend Limited covers everything you need to know about running a successful sheep farming operation in Kenya. You will learn which breeds work best, how to build proper housing, what to feed your sheep, how to keep them healthy, how to manage breeding, and how much money you can expect to make. The information comes from farmers who have built profitable sheep businesses and from livestock research stations around the country. farmerstrend.co.ke/trending/sheep…

Peach Farming in Kenya: The 2026 Commercial Guide to High-Value Temperate Orchards Kenya does not grow enough peaches to feed its own market. The country imports peaches from South Africa to make up the shortfall. A single imported peach sells for 150 to 250 shillings in local supermarkets. A kilogram of imported peaches costs 2,000 to 2,500 shillings. This situation creates an opening for local farmers who want to grow peaches commercially. Growing peaches in Kenya takes patience and good management. The tree needs cold weather during the winter months and warm weather when the fruit is developing. You must prune the trees correctly and remove some young fruits so the remaining ones grow bigger. A well-run peach orchard produces fruit for 12 to 15 years. Farmers who do it right can earn 3 to 5 million shillings per acre every year. This guide by Farmers Trend Limited covers everything you need to know about growing peaches commercially in Kenya. You will learn which varieties to plant, whether to buy grafted or seedling trees, what kind of land and climate the trees need, how to prune and thin the fruits, how to control pests and diseases, and how much money you can expect to make. The information comes from farmers who grow temperate fruits successfully and from agricultural research stations around the country. farmerstrend.co.ke/fruits/peach-f…

Millet Farming in Kenya: The 2026 Commercial Guide to High-Yield Climate-Smart Production Millet is no longer just a subsistence crop for arid regions. In 2026, millet farming in Kenya has become a climate-smart alternative to maize. Farmers in Machakos, Tharaka Nithi, Turkana, and Kitui are switching from maize to millet. The reason is simple. Millet grows where maize fails. It needs less water. It tolerates higher temperatures. It produces grain when other cereals wither. The market for millet is expanding. Processors like Famila and Unga Ltd are buying local millet for composite flours. The poultry feed industry is using millet as a corn substitute. Health-conscious consumers are buying gluten-free millet flour. A 90-kilogram bag of millet sells for 7,000 to 9,500 shillings in 2026. The demand continues growing. This guide by Farmers Trend Ltd. provides everything you need for commercial success in millet farming in Kenya. You will learn about variety selection, land preparation, fertilizer application, pest control, harvesting, and marketing. The information comes from successful growers and agricultural research stations across the country. farmerstrend.co.ke/crops/millet-f…
