There is very smart journalism and competent people in Kenya
People are planting trees which take 5-7 years. What would prevent one from planting palm oil and wait for the period to start harvesting. What is important is for an economic evaluation to be done. Western part of Kenya are hungry for valuable cash crops/income generating projects.
My understanding on the working of EPZ, the majority of profit is repatriated to the parent countries and in that case the revenue generations is much smaller than 60 billion.Otherwise good conversation, best show in Kenya
Thanks Spice for such informative interviews. Living on propaganda is bad I hope all Kenyans and their politicians could listen to such facts, this country could be far-off hunger and ignorance.
Why do we have so many imported brands of cooking oil in Eastleigh and the whole country how does it come into the country.
The problem is Somalis.... They like importing everything
where exactly and around how much does it cost
Kenyans do not understand how desperately we need East African integration. We will be facing a serious shortage of everything from water to land, from food to homes....our geography and economy is extremely fragile.
Without government stepping in , a company cannot shoulder costs for 10 years buana ... It would have to entail tax holidays etc and patnerships with GoK
💯💯
How are we not able to grow Soy beans?
Because it’s cheaper to grow in Uganda given the exchange rate and cheaper to import palm crude oil from Indonesia which is actually responsible for deforestation in those countries. Kenyan farmers tried to grow soybeans then companies like Bidco moved to grow in Uganda which is cheaper to home grown.
Does kenya know that in europe palm oil is like gmo?everyone tries to buy products without palm oil. But africa is where u sell what other part of the world dont want.
Sure?
So does what Europe consumes becomes the standard of what's best?
@@brian.mwangi I wouldn’t say so but Europe has proved to have better legislation on health more than any region on the planet so it’s not insane to look at their decisions and how they arrive at them.
Very professional discussion based on data!!
Palm oil is the cheapest source of cooking oil no other alternative comes close
And responsible for deforestation in Indonesia etc and the market is controlled by cartels who use it to wash their illegal earnings especially from drugs and human trafficking. So Palm oil ni ya huko kwenu sisi majuu hatuitambui🤷🏽♀️🇬🇧🇦🇺
@@xxxyz326 Population growth and agricultural economic development are certainly a source of deforestation. The only way the deforestation levels can reduce in Indonesia due to an increased acreage of land under Palm Oil cultivation, is for more countries to plant the crop. Reducing the pressure of Indonesia to meet world's requirements of Palm oil and to make it less attractive is key. Otherwise that palm oil fetches them dollars directly as opposed to the forests will see more acreage of forests being cut down to give way to Palm Oil. Palm oil in itself isn't bad.
@@georgeooko3716 🤔🤔and cartels can allow this? Poverty and war is profitable for a few. So mass cultivation will reduces profits and power and control. Commercial world know what to do just want to change status quo. For population, from urbanisation view yes may be high, otherwise if you look around each country, continent have massive land unoccupied.
