A farmer growing custard apples in Kamahuha village in Murang'a is making better returns after he shifted from coffee farming. In 2003, Fredrick Kinyanjui 57, retired from driving long-distance trucks and opted to venture into coffee farming and planted 333 seedlings. At first, he enjoyed better returns as he produced 500,000 kilograms of cherries, unfortunately, this didn't last long as fluctuating market prices frustrated his venture and that is when he decided to shift to custard apples.
Kinyanjui was inspired to venture into coffee farming after he had witnessed farmers in Uganda changing their lives through the crop.
