BIDCO Africa embarks on a project that will see Kenya start palm oil production 

Luos are their own worst enemy, they will burn this down during maandamano!

@@brayo144 what was burnt in kisumu during the recent demonstrations apart from that ugly udaku office? Continue peddling propaganda to fuel your hatred, who cares?

Shida ya luos ni kiburi mko nayo, tulia muone vile Ruto ata develop kenya

​@@comradejohn5302I believe the problem is a few leaders that mislead our people

​@@brayo144Your ignorance is top notch.

In Western and Nyanza...and let us hope that only the shareholders of this region will benefit.. Do not sell land to the KK shareholders

Oil palm can be grown in western, nyanza and coast provices where there is a lot of conventional rainfal and substitute sugarcane which has been politicized

Let the oil replace sugar cane in western region

@@SolidRockJesus2023 is this the best you can contribute.

..oh.. but they will. It is in their DNA. Qatar Airlines, one of the biggest airlines in the world wanted to set up a regional hub in JKIA a few years ago. This would have come with money to construct new terminals, maintenance hangars and a general upgrading of Nairobi into an international class airline hub. Some greedy government officials demanded 50% of the proposed investment capital for them to allow the airline in the country and that is how we lost that golden goose. Of course non of those thieves paid the price coz those orders came from the top.

They will palm oil has the potential of becoming more profitable than Coffeee,Tea etc. Politicians have always known that.

If you read the finance act ,you would know its part of gvnt agenda for growth.

Shouldn't have aired this, empowerment to the people of that region is not welcomed by many,that's why their sugar sector has not progressed due to cheap imports,they can't get support in their rice farms like those in mwea

I hope so mostly our political class coz are most corrupt

Lazima forest itaumia just like Malaysia. U can't have both. That's the price we will pay for industrialisation

but palm trees also create a forest like ecosystem. Ofcourse not diverse. Indeed we will just be like Malaysia @@kabuthakabutha9472

Palm trees create forests too..

its obvious you have never been to lakeside the closest forest is kakamega which is almost 200km away from homabay

​@@kabuthakabutha9472true bro

How.

This is a private company doing this.

@@rederatv am sure you can see that she is encouraging this initiative.

What do you mean Opposition so every must join government side for development?or what

By comments? Funny huh

It always begin with good news 😂😂😂😂

Why are we not having people like you at the top of the ministry of agriculture to offer such ideas and implement them to the latter!

Am not from western but your idea is a little radical.😅 Instead of adopting palm 🌴 oil just like homabay , why not talk to your leaders to establish SUGAR BEET. it matures in 5 months, it's high in sucrose. Farmers will be harvesting twice in a year, consumers will get cheaper sugar and KRA will get their taxes and the government will not use foreign reserve for importation.

@@kabuthakabutha9472 Trying to get consumers to change from a product they have been consuming all their lives that they have had no problem with and then tell them we have a better sugar replacement because it is easier to produce is problematic as we have seen with the case with trying to get kenyans to substitute eating Ugali for other grains. its like telling Kenyans to change from eating ugali and substitute it with another grain because it is easier to produce and that has not gone down well with consumers who insist they must have their ugali. Also, sugar beets has slightly different properties when it comes to baking bread and cakes that make it not palatable for baking. Old habits are a hard nut to crack especially when it comes to food.

@@daviddavis7959 You make a very good point, and that habit of Kenyans being resistant to adopting new trends happens across all industries. I work in the construction industry and it's the same thing.

This makes a lot of sense

No we import palm oil

We import oil

@@NiBazuu It will be killed by politician cartels like they did with the sugarcane factories by importing cheap oil

...ehh..this is exploitation...like the quail sensation that some still cry to date...but this will grab land from the locals....

You are very right, hence Africans should help themselves maintain and grow.

Fear your government more. Corrupt to the core.

Because it’s luoland we mmeru?

Now, what's stopping you from growing the more profitable ones and let Homabay pple do the palm oil

@@fredorido2520 People need to know better options if their intent is to make money. Did my comment trigger you? Why? You came hostile.

Baki kiambu

@@eddyrandu3127 I bringing development ideas

😅😅

It always begin with good news 😂😂

This is an initiative by Homabay County Government

@robertmarcus1456 You can argue all you want, but facts are facts... politics aside.

@@joekihungi7063 what facts...the governor approached BIDCO....she personally went to Uganda for the case study... it's okay to use your brain in spite of your political leanings

If you can go back to when Moses Kuria was answering questions in parliament a month or so a go, you would understand. But since you just want to argue without facts I will rest my case here.

@@joekihungi7063 He was talking about importing it not manufacturing...get your facts right

Those Indians are Kenyans

​@@fredorido2520correct! This tribalism and race nonsense is backward. They are Kenyans who have set up business in Kenya like anyone else, but now someone wants to shamelessly kick them out. People never learnt that such thoughts are what made Ugandan currency to be the weakest in the entire East and Central Africa. Even with all the war in Somalia, S. Sudan, DRC , CAR and Burundi the Ugandan Shilling has never recovered and is weaker than the countries at war.

....ehh...hivyo hivyo...tell them...

​@@BS-kl9yf❤

​@@fredorido2520❤

This is an initiative by County Government of Homabay idiot

Useless

It always begin with good news 😂😂😂😂

Both can be done at the same time

Yes it is.mawese.

The modern day Palm trees in Nigeria takes three years to start producing from the time it's planted

Wrong. Palm trees now takes about four years before it starts producing. Get in touch with NIFOR in Nigeria.

Is Ruto the governor for Homabay? My friend you are bursac

Are those forests in Homa bay?

​@@Evywaffgood question. It's all about homa bay county not other regions. Mwambie huyu

It may not do well in low temperature. I highly doubt it would be wise to destroy a forest for it

@@luciesview what are you talking about? Did you even read? It is either you did not understand you have no clue about where Homa bay is located.

oh dear😪

Pipedream 😂😂

It's making sense that's why Malaysia is industrialized

The weather at the coastal region favors palm oil tree survival I wish the government could also boost farmers in that region and help them get affordable palm oil tree

No due to droughts

@@johnstoneolefa913it does well in equatorial, Nyanza is Kaverondo and it climate is like Western Uganda

With irrigation yes especially galana kulala area and malindi

very very well! its actually a coastal plant.

Central since Hakuna demonstrations si bado mko na poverty kama yote
