need to change our farmers from subsistence to commercial farmers

@drsugarcane The more intriguing part of it all is that Kenya utilizes less than 30% of it's horticulture potential. The government needs to invest more in projects like these and citizens in the rural areas will earn enough without having to move to the big cities to look for work to earn a living. It's a win win situation. Constructing good all season roads will go a long way to achieve this.
