These cabbages are in demand because my local people consume a lot because their stable food is "ugali " require vegetables,, this makes my business to be in demand. I decided to do this Business after joining the school of agriculture, where I was equipped with necessary skills on how to do agribusiness, I also studied my local people what they consume most and started the business. cabbages are sold everyday and per week I earn a minimum of one thousand to two thousand, but due to lack of enough capital, am unable to expand my business and yet I am unable to satisfy the community in terms of demand.
