Agriculture has is one of the most straight foward businesses that anyone with the right amount of patience can do and get healthy returns after a certain period of time. While its still okay to save your money for future use why dont you invest it into something that can triple your savings?
With your savings tripled you can afford to pay back your student loans, save some more and still plan for more future investments. For example if you have saved Ksh 70,000 and you can increase this amount in 3 months to Ksh 172,000 by planting 1 acre of Potaoes with a production cost of Ksh 62,000 (This cost includes insecticides for the whole period) The gross income after this period will be Ksh 162,000. Plus the balance you had of Ksh 10,000 you will have Ksh 172,000. If you minus the production cost from this you are left with a net profit of Ksh. 110,000. Incredible right? This calculations are all proven facts and can be confirmed by any credible farmer near you.
