“Let’s be honest, poultry business was terrible last year. I have felt the heat,” that is an honest confession from Mr Brian Guto, a veteran poultry keeper from Nakuru County. Years back, Guto says chicken rearing was lucrative business, not any more. Back then, he says eggs used to fetch good prices and one was able to earn a decent living from selling eggs.
With cheap imports from neighbouring countries and the ever rising cost of feeds, business is unsustainable, he says.
