I farm 2 hectares of potatoes in Mombasa. This season I'm dealing with pests destroying the seedlings. I've tried what the local suppliers recommended, but results aren't improving.
I'm looking for an agronomist or experienced grower who can look at photos, soil-test results and my planting plan, and advise on what to change. A 30-minute call or exchange of messages would be fantastic.
I'm happy to share photos and a soil test. I'm using only what I can afford, so low-cost suggestions are best. I'll share how it goes - and what worked - to help others in the community.
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Good luck, Akinyi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Houston but we're thinking of you.
Hang in there, Akinyi. Shared this with my family. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless!
Stay strong, Akinyi. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Thanks for sharing this, Akinyi. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Leicester donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. Love from Manchester.
