"Invest in livestock and not deadstock". These are the words Mr Arangi told me when I bought a television set worth Sh18, 000 after being paid my first salary.
Many people have languished in abject poverty because they keep making the same mistakes. With Sh18000, I would have started a poultry farm at my home.
Chicken business would have made me richer in a few months. Sheep farming is also a good investment that can make you the next millionaire in town. Sheep is raised for wool, milk and skin. Many farmers have freed themselves from “Serikali Nisaidie” mentality through sheep farming.
If you are not comfortable with sheep farming then try goat farming. There are some many nyoma choma points in Machakos town. This has made goat farming one of the most profitable investments to consider.
In addition, you do not need to break into the nearest bank to get money to start this business. Goat farming requires little capital. Rabbit farming is another great idea that would benefit you more than dead stock would do. Rabbits do not take much space in your home.
Furthermore, you will not need a lot of money to run your project. The next time you think about investing, remember livestock farming.
