RBKM Farming main objective is to improve the standard of living in our rural community through the supply of quality chicken meat, mixed crop farming, supply of chicken manure for vegetables, creation of employment especially amongst the youth and skills development. RBKM Farming solves a problem of food security through supporting the Agriculture master plan which aims to boost the local mixed farming industry by curbing imports, expanding production for local and export markets. We focus also on promoting entrepreneurship through the learning program initiative in young people, empowering them to create, manage sustainable and efficient businesses capable of providing more permanent jobs and employment growth.
What is your biggest success?
My biggest success is being able to hire 20 unemployed youth from rural communities last year early February through my poultry farming, and knowing that as business based in rural communities really gives me success energy.
What has been your biggest hurdle?
My biggest hurdle is rising feed and fuel prices are having a widespread impact.
The current electricity crisis is another hiccup but also an opportunity as a young woman in farmer who is not as reliant on electricity as the larger producers and retailers. This hiccup helped me to become an excellent salesperson and have vast informal networks through which I sell live chickens to resellers and different households, by combining my farming skills and experience I will not only survive this storm but thrive in it too. I always FOCUS on the opportunities that presents itself. PEOPLE NEED TO EAT. At RBKM chickens we are very resilient and resourceful, we believe that ones who put in the effort and apply skills and experience we will always come out on top
