- Provide organic fertilizer for planting and top dressing of the paw paws and other crops
- Increase the number of beneficiaries up to 50,000 farmers each planting 100 pawpaw trees with each sub-county producing 10,000 farmers. With 5,000,000 trees in the County, there will be enough materials for the factory though this will not be enough but it will be a starting point which will lead to the expansion of the project to the neighboring counties.
- Employment of more than 25,000 people in the fields of production, processing, transport and marketing will be available.
- Increase income in the people’s pockets through latex harvesting which starts from the 7th month after planting. The farmer is expected to harvest 10 kgs of latex weekly meaning he/she will be able to have 40 kgs monthly at a price of Kshs. 200.00/kg translating to Kshs.8, 000.00 per month. This will mean the farmer will be having an annual income of Kshs.96, 000.00 from latex. From the 10th month, he/she will start delivering both fruits and the latex. With an average of 100 fruits from every tree, it is expected that a total of 10,000 fruits will be realized. If the farmer sales the same at 20.00 per fruit, then a total income of Kshs. 200,000.00 is realized giving it a total income of Kshs 296,000.00 annually earning the farmer Kshs. 810.96 per day. This will make the farmer earn above the world’s minimum wage of US$1 dollar per day.
- With the expansion of the pawpaw plants, there will be a lot of nectar production which should be harvested by the bees for honey production. We expect to provide each farmer with at list 1 bee hive. This will give the farmer another income. We estimate that each hive will be producing 50 kgs per annum selling at Kshs. 1,000.00/kg, meaning the farmer will have increased his/her income by Kshs60, 000.00. We shall have honey in abundance to use as a preservative as well as a sweetener during the processing of jam.
- Increase the production of ganoderma mushrooms for the processing of the jam. With the use of honey and garnoderma mushrooms which are highly medicinal our jam is going to be a unique product for we shall not be using the industrial sugar but having a product that is chemical free and hence high income to the farmer.
- Encourage the farmers to strengthen their savings through their co-operative society for further investments.
- Increase our level of products development by processing beverages like coffee, tea, soya, soya coffee but all with ganoderma mushrooms to expand our market scope.
- We shall provide farmers with trainings in new technologies like hydroponic and aquaponic i.e. production of crops and fish without using soil and ponds respectively.
