Скачать или смотреть Biggest Macadamia farm in Kenya - 150 Hectares

Farmers in Kenya can now up their macadamia production throughout the year, thanks to the newly introduced variety dubbed Murang’a 20 which can yield up to 300kg of nuts per tree as compared to 50kg of the common varieties.

Dykin Green Farm, a nursery farm based near Embu Town and which deals in grafted horticultural seedlings of different varieties and assorted flowers and which has been in seedlings business for over 30 years now has introduced the new varieties after the traditional ones started failing farmers.

“Despite the fact that a mature tree can produce between 80kg and 300kg of nuts, most farmers in the country harvest between 30kg and 50kg leading them to unnecessary production costs and reduced returns,” said Dickson Kivuti, owner of the nursery farm.

According to Kivuti, all their seedlings are grafted to ensure the quality and quantity of the produce per tree as the nut processors are currently looking for the new verity, probably because it produces more and quality oil as compared to the nuts from the indigenous varieties.
