Rearing indigenous chickens can be both rewarding and profitable when done the right way. These hardy birds are well-adapted to local environments, require less intensive care than exotic breeds, and provide high-quality meat and eggs that are in great demand. However, success in indigenous poultry farming depends on getting a few key things right from the start.

Kambale’s journey into farming has been anything but ordinary. Today, he manages eight dairy cows, two in-calf, two calves, and four lactating, producing an impressive average of 100 litres of milk per day. But the road to this success wasn’t smooth.

In Kenya, a new wave of young entrepreneurs is turning to agriculture—and proving that farming is not just for the old generation. From small plots and borrowed land, ambitious youth are cultivating success through vegetable growing, delivery services, and agribusiness innovation. Two shining examples of this movement are Kinyanjui Kahunya from Limuru and Alpha Ndung’u from Kahawa Sukari. Both have transformed small beginnings into thriving ventures supplying vegetables to homes, markets, and even supermarkets.
