Rice is an important food grain and commercial cereal in Kenya. Rice consumption in Kenya is increasing at a rate of 10% yearly due to urbanization, preferences and rising population. The Kenyan market alone currently has a rice deficit of 700000 metric tonnes valued at over $93,000,000 and currently has potential of about 540,000 ha irrigable and 1.0 m ha rainfed land for rice production.

Ifarm360 is taking this opportunity seriously and has partnered with large off-takers for the supply of rice. We are working with farmers in West Kano & Ahero Irrigation Schemes to grow rice to meet the demand and unlock this huge opportunity.  Rice is a low cost crop and farm yields can be improved by 150% when proper farm methodology is applied. When you fund the project, you empower better production while earning promising returns. A farm unit is equivalent to 1/3 of an acre which represents a single smallholder farmer in the farming block.

Your investment covers:

• Farm preparation through proper mechanization and regime
• Training of smallholder farmers and agronomy support throughout the farming cycle
• Quality farm inputs (seeds, fertiliser, etc)
• Crop insurance (multi-peril)
• Harvesting costs

As a farm investor we will provide you with regular updates on the progress of the project and we highly encourage farm visits by investors.
