Samahani sijakuelewa, Source ya fund unamaanisha nini? Nipigie tuelekezane vema tafadhali.
Karibu sana.
Nimekuelewa sana ndugu, kwa mkulima ninaeanza kilimo kwa capital ya kuchangisha kwa mjomba Na binam,itabidi nisubiri kidogo!, but hyo source ya fund itabidi nikuombe unipe maelezo kidogo kwani itanisaidia sana kupanua kilimo changu hiki kdogo!, asante..

Karibu sana.
Nimsaidie nadhani alikuwa anazungumzia uwezekano wa kusaidiwa mbinu za kupata mtaji na mojawapo nadhani umeshaiweka humu ya kuandikiwa Business Plan na kupewa Loan
Nimeipenda hii mamaNa. Tafadhali nami naomba details lukutta@gmail.com kuna eneo nataka nalitaftia pesa ya kuwekeza kwenye kilimo. Mke wangu ana taaluma ya kilimo na amekuwa akinisisitiza sana juu ya greenhouses. Nina eneo tayari natafuta mtaji wa kuwekeza. Alipata mtaalam wa hii kitu kwa abt 4.5M nikaona safar ndef. Pls email more details concerning gharama za full installation, mbegu na any useful costs required.
Karibu sana,
Ni vema kama Mkeo amesoma Kilimo, ataweza kulisimamia hili vilivyo.
Tuwasiliane kwa simu ili tuweze kuona tunalifanikishaje hilo.
NB: Nimeshakuemail.
Ahsanta mkuu maana Uzi wako umeniamsha kiakili kumbe tunaweza kujikomboa tukiachana mawazo ya kuajiriwa tu.
Mkuu hebu funguka kidogo kwa hili la ukubwa kama wa nyumba kwa robo hekari..Hilo sio changamoto, greenhouse tujengazo zinahimili vishindo vyote vya mvua, upepo na dhoruba za kawaida. Kinachofanyika ni kusoma mazingira husika na kujua tutapambana vipi na changamoto hiyo. Kama uko tayari kuingia gharama tuko tayari na tuna uwezo wa kujenga kama nyumba ya kuishi, yaani msingi wa zege, hii inashauriwa kwa wale wanaojenga greenhouse kubwa kuanzia robo heka kuendelea, kwani investement itaendana na return tarajiwa.
Karibu sana.
Nb: kuna option ya kuijenga kama raised bed ya mbao, something which is much cheaper.
Mkuu hebu funguka kidogo kwa hili la ukubwa kama wa nyumba kwa robo hekari..
Makadirio ya gharama za ujenzi na materials inclusive mpaka iwe operational inaweza kuwa kiasi gani??
Vipi mahitaji ya maji inaweza kuhitaji vyombo vya maji vyenye uwezo wa kuchukua lita ngapi??
Naona kama hii iko much cheaper kwa mtu mwenye mtaji mkubwa kuliko kujenga ndogo ndogo nyingi
Kwa ukubwa wa kama nyumba nilimaanisha Kujenga Floor kabisa ya zege kama kuna wasi wasi wa mmomonyoko wa udongo, Mazao yatapandwa kwenye pots, containers au mifuko ya kuoteshea miche. Yatamwagiliwa kama kawaida kwa drip na hii ina faida kubwa sana ya kujikinga na bacterial wilting.
Kwa gharama itategemea na mkoa inaojengwa, material yatakayotumika na muda wa ujenzi kwani kila eneo litachukua muda tofauti kulingana na changamoto za kiujenzi zinavyotokea. Kama hakutokuwa na sababu ya kujenga juu ya floor (yaani ardhi tambarare) basi gharama kwa robo heka ni mil 23-27 kutegemea na eneo.
Kujenga greenhouse moja kubwa kunatakiwa uwe umeshafanya maamuzi ya zao unalopanda na soko tarajiwa kwani mavuno yatakuwa almost tani moja na nusu mpaka mbili kila wiki. Ndio maana hapo juu nikashauri mtu ajenge tano tofauti ili aweze kulima mazao matano mfano hoho nyekundu greenhouse yake, za njano yake, kijani yake, nyanya yake na tango yake. Hii itakusababishia kuwa na varieties za mazao kila wiki na soko halitosumbua.
NB: Kujenga moja kubwa sio cheaper kuliko kujenga ndogo nyingi.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE INVEST IN GREENHOUSE FARMING: THE CASE OF UGANDA
There is this time-tested advice that you should only lend what you can afford to lose. The same advice applies if you are considering investing in a greenhouse.
True, there is money in greenhouse farming. But it is not easy money, as the aggressive promoters of greenhouse technology would want farmers to believe.
To get the picture, look at abandoned greenhouse structures scattered around Kampala and neighbouring districts like Wakiso and Mukono. The owners are frustrated farmers who invested millions expecting quick returns, only to lose it all.
False promises
Lured by the high returns projected by fast-talking promoters masquerading as greenhouse technology experts, many aspiring farmers, especially the young corporate class, took bank loans, drew their savings, or liquidated fixed assets to invest in a greenhouse.
You cannot blame them for being gullible. The returns on investment projected by the greenhouse promoters are simply irresistible. One lady was assured of 400 per cent in profits within half a year. She invested Shs10m expecting Shs40m in six months. But instead she lost an entire crop of tomatoes to a wilt disease at the flowering stage.
The people who supplied the greenhouse structure and equipment, kept suggesting different chemical combinations, which the desperate farmer had to buy from them. She faithfully applied the chemicals but the tomatoes continued wilting as if they had been planted in a sauna.
Get knowledge
Finally, the truth hit her in the face like a basket of rotten tomatoes. The so-called greenhouse experts were actually gamblers,who were just using her as a guinea pig.
In greenhouse farming, like any other farming enterprise, knowledge is power. But most farmers only want to know how much it will cost and how soon they will recover their money.
The right people to ask would be fellow farmers, who are already into greenhouse production. There are a few successful greenhouse farmers in Uganda. Visit them. There are many in Kenya, who can be visited through organised tours.
For those with internet access, there is a lot of information available. You can have virtual tours of greenhouse projects in Asia and other parts of the world, which have similar climatic conditions as Uganda.
From them, you learn about the opportunities and challenges in greenhouse farming. Some offer short courses in greenhouse management and other vital practical skills.
Besides inadequate knowledge, lack of commitment is another reason why many greenhouses in Uganda fail. Many Ugandans engaged in greenhouse farming have full-time jobs elsewhere. The day-to-day management is left to workers, whose competence and commitment are questionable.
Conditions in a greenhouse are constantly changing so the need for close monitoring. Plant growth is determined by the controlled conditions inside the greenhouse. Temperatures and humidity have to be kept constant around the clock. A greenhouse can easily overheat in the hot sun, leading to total disaster.
In technically more advanced countries like Israel, conditions are regulated with the help of computers. However in Uganda and most African countries, this still has to be done manually. In such a situation, monitoring the greenhouse on phone or visiting for a few hours over weekend cannot work.
Collective action
One effective way farmers can get into the greenhouse farming business is through organising themselves into groups or cooperatives and pool resources to start joint greenhouse projects. It will be easier to hire professional managers, get training from experts, organise study tours, seek financial support from government and private financial institutions, and look for markets. As they gain more experience, they can set up greenhouses on their farms, but still continue to source inputs and search for markets collectively. Greenhouse farming is a way farmers can cope with the challenges brought about by climatic change, and also ensure food security for the country and region.

Nadhani Hiyo Journalistic approach ya muandishi kwenye hii kitu imejielezea vema kabisa.
Sabayi,
Alichokiandika mwandishi Nakubaliana nacho kwa ASILIMIA 100. Greenhouse Sio Kisima cha Pesa au Biashara yenye asilimia 100 ya faida na mavuno kede kede.
Inabidi Kabla hujaamua kufanya kilimo hiki Ujiulize honestly maswali haya
1: Je Ninajua nini kuhusu kilimo hiki? (Usisikilize tu wauzaji au watengenezaji Greenhouse ukaingia bank na kukopa Ili ufanikiwe) Elimu ndio kila kitu hapa.
2: Je Nina elimu ya kutosha kuhusu zao husika ninalotarajia kupanda?? (Unajua nini kuhusu nyanya, hoho, tango nk) Umeshawahi kulima au kuona watu wanalima?? Unajua Matakwa ya matunzo yake?? Mimea ni Kama Viumbe hai vyovyote vile, usipovijali havitoishi.
3: Je natarajia kupata kiasi gani (realistically), Usisikilize takwimu tu ukawa convinced utaweza, fanya research ya kutosha.
4: Je Nina MUDA WA KUHUDUMIA MAZAO???? Hili ni jambo muhimu sana, Yes Greenhouse inapunguza labour charge nyingi na idadi ya watu kufanya kazi shambani, Sasa jiulize nani atakuwa msimamizi wa hiyo shughuli yako, na Je Naye ana Elimu gani kuhusu kilimo hiki... Unapochukua House boy na kumuelekeza wapi koki ya maji ipo akiamka amwagilie hicho sio kilimo na usishangae usipopata chochote kwani hakuna Input katika kazi yenu. Someni wote muelimike, kama hajaelewa rudia huku unafanya mwenyewe mambo mengi.
5: SOKO, SOKO, SOKO, SOKO.... Ukishavuna utamuuzia nani???? Hilo ni muhimu sana kujua, unaponipigia simu na kuniuliza, ETI NYANYA ZINALIPA??? Mfano nikilima ntapata kilo ngapi na ntauza shilingi ngapi??? Hii sio research, ni moja tu kati ya maswali ya kutaka kupata taarifa.
6: Jifunze magonjwa na jinsi ya kuyatibu, mbolea na jinsi ya kuweka, jifunze bacteria wanaohitajika kwenye mimea na wasiohitajika, jifunze uchavushaji, jifunze changamoto zote kisha anza kidogo kidogo mpaka utakapoona umeshakomaa kiukulima ndio uingie kwenye kilimo kwa investment kubwa..
Realistically, ukiwa na greenhouse moja ya robo heka unaweza kuzalisha milioni 100-150 kila mwaka, sasa Je UTAZALISHAJE??? UNAYO ELIMU HIYO???
BIASHARA SI TU KUWA NA MTAJI.
Nadhani nimegusia mambo muhimu ambayo muandishi hapo juu amejaribu kuyaongelea.
Ni kweli kabisa ukifanya kilimo kwa kuiga na kusikiliza sales man utaishia kugeuza Greenhouse yako stoo.
I salute you mkuu You have been very realistic and honest Thanks next month as I promised you ntakuwa nimerudi nchini ntakuja Kigamboni kukuona kabla sijaanza hii kitu
Nipigie simu 0714881500 nikuelekeze jinsi ya kuchukua Soil Sample, Na Tuonane ili nipokee udongo na maji yako nikutumie Kwenye Lab ninayofanya nayo kazi Tukapimie, Gharama kama nilivyoeleza hapo juu ni 250,000 Tu kwa Vipimo Vyote viwili (Soil & Water Test - Complete Analysis)Sasa udongo tutapima wapi? Nataka mwezi ujao nianze mchakato.
