Many Kenyans have delved into fruit farming; some are focusing on exotic and rare fruits fetching millions in the global market. One of the most expensive fruits in Kenya, with a single fruit retailing between Ksh150 to Ksh300, is the pomegranate.
Pomegranate farmers sell a kilogram of the fruit consisting of about three fruits or more between Ksh1,500 and Ksh1,700 in the market.
Each tree produces approximately 15 kilograms of fruits in the first year and 20 in the second year. Therefore, from one tree, a farmer can make Ksh25,500, which is expected to increase depending on the number of trees planted.
[ Ksh100 = €0.73 ]
