1 ACRE COST BREAKDOW FOR ONION FARMING IN KENYA 2024.

In 2024, the estimated cost of starting onion farming on one acre in Kenya using basin irrigation amounts to approximately KES 248,500.

This includes a land lease averaging KES 15,000, irrigation setup at KES 65,000, and soil analysis costing KES 4,500.

Quality hybrid seeds (1.5kg) are priced at KES 40,000, while nursery establishment and sowing cost KES 2,500 and KES 2,000 respectively.

Managing the nursery, which includes weeding and spraying, is estimated at KES 18,000. Land preparation will cost around KES 16,000, and transplanting the seedlings takes up KES 24,000.

For proper plant nutrition, fertilizer application is budgeted at KES 26,000. Weed control through selective herbicides and labor amounts to KES 4,500, while spraying against pests and diseases is estimated at KES 15,000 for the full season.

Ongoing irrigation throughout the growing period is expected to cost about KES 15,000, and harvesting labor is projected at KES 5,000. Overall, with a 5-month growing cycle, farmers can expect yields between 10 to 17 tons per acre, with market prices ranging from KES 50 to 120 per kg, resulting in a potential return on investment (ROI) of KES 600,000 to 2 million, making onion farming a highly profitable venture if managed well.

Spacing matters in bulb onion farming!

- 7-10 cm between plants for optimal growth
- 15 cm drip emitter spacing for uniform watering

This setup ensures max yield per m² while saving water. Smart farming = better profits!

The price of eggs is not going down any time soon. I believe by December we will be buying a tray of eggs for Ksh.600

Healthy chickens need two simple things every day: clean water and balanced feed.
Good nutrition and fresh water help poultry grow well, stay strong, and produce better eggs.

Biogas Production Plant: Turning Organic Waste into Clean Energy 🌱🔥

The image illustrates how a biogas production plant works in everyday life.
Biogas systems convert organic waste—such as food scraps, animal manure, and plant material—into a renewable fuel that can be used for cooking, heating, or electricity generation.
This simple yet powerful technology helps reduce waste while producing sustainable energy.
Biogas plants are widely used in farms, rural homes, and eco-friendly communities because they transform waste into valuable resources.

What Is Biogas?
Biogas is a renewable energy source produced when organic materials decompose in an oxygen-free environment. During this process, microorganisms break down the waste and release gases, mainly:
Methane (CH₄) – the main combustible gas used as fuel
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) – produced during decomposition
Small traces of other gases
Methane is the energy-rich component that can be used for cooking or heating.

Main Components of a Biogas Plant
A basic biogas system usually contains several key parts.
1. Input Chamber
Organic materials such as:
Food scraps
Vegetable waste
Animal manure
Agricultural residues
are mixed with water and fed into the system.
2. Digester Tank
The digester is a sealed underground chamber where the organic waste decomposes.
Bacteria break down the materials in the absence of oxygen, producing biogas.
3. Gas Storage Dome
The produced gas rises and collects in the dome at the top of the digester.
4. Gas Pipeline
The biogas is transported through pipes to a stove or other appliances where it can be used as fuel.
5. Outlet Slurry Chamber
After digestion, the remaining material—called bio-slurry—flows out of the system.

Benefits of Biogas Systems
Biogas plants provide several environmental and economic advantages.
Renewable Energy
Biogas is a sustainable energy source that reduces dependence on fossil fuels.
Waste Management
Organic waste that would normally be discarded becomes useful fuel.
Natural Fertilizer
The leftover slurry is rich in nutrients and can be used as an organic fertilizer for crops.
Reduced Pollution
Biogas systems help lower methane emissions from decomposing waste and reduce air pollution from traditional cooking fuels.

Tips for Efficient Biogas Production
For a biogas system to work effectively, several conditions should be maintained:
Use mixed organic waste for better gas production.
Maintain a stable temperature inside the digester.
Avoid adding chemicals or non-organic materials.
Regularly remove and use the bio-slurry as fertilizer.
Proper management ensures steady gas production and long-term system efficiency.

A Sustainable Solution for the Future
Biogas technology offers a practical way to convert everyday organic waste into clean energy.
By combining waste recycling, renewable fuel production, and natural fertilizer generation, biogas plants support sustainable living and environmental protection.
Whether used on farms, in rural communities, or in eco-friendly households, biogas systems demonstrate how simple technologies can create powerful solutions for energy and waste management. 🌍🌱🔥
