Welcome to Kilimo Biashara, where practical farming meets modern thinking. Our name means “agribusiness,” and that’s exactly our focus: helping farmers, agripreneurs, and curious growers build profitable, resilient operations wherever they are. We believe good agriculture blends tradition with technology, soil wisdom with sensors, and craft with clear markets.

This project grew from countless conversations at farm gates and kitchen tables, questions about yields, prices, pests, and time. We’ve trialed hydroponic systems in spare rooms, fussed over pH and EC before sunrise, and learned how a simple LED choice or airflow tweak can change everything. We’ve also seen how sound record‑keeping, smart marketing, and the right partners turn a side plot into a sustainable business.

On kilimobiashara.co.ke you’ll find step‑by‑step help for indoor growing, hydroponics from Kratky to DWC and NFT, microgreens and mushrooms at home, greenhouse design, heating and cooling, nutrient schedules, lighting, and ventilation. If your heart is in the backyard, we cover chickens and coops, beekeeping from gear to honey harvests, raised beds, composting, soil testing, drip irrigation, rainwater capture, and organic pest control. For planning, we publish state‑specific planting calendars, frost‑date tools, IPM guides, and clear advice on issues like hornworms or powdery mildew. And because farming is a business, you’ll see calculators and playbooks for microgreens profitability, greenhouse ROI, CSA models, farm insurance, taxes, grants, labeling, and selling at markets or online. Ready to level up? Explore drones for scouting, soil sensors, farm software, traceability, post‑harvest handling, and more.

Everything we share is research‑backed, field‑tested, and written in plain language. Expect practical tips, success stories you can learn from, and resources that bridge heritage methods with today’s tools. Whether you’re growing basil under lights in a studio or debating a new high tunnel on the farm, we’re here to make the next step clearer, and more profitable.

Pull up a chair, explore a guide, try a calculator, and tell us what you’re working on. Let’s grow smart, grow sustainably, and grow a business you’re proud of.
