A Bright university Graduate Reveals Spending Fees to Fund Tomato Farm on a Leased Land in Juja in which she earns huge profits in return from the farm

Laureen Aseka had always been interested in farming for some reason, so she decided to try her hand at growing tomatoes. The institution offered a time window for paying tuition fees, which she took advantage of to finance her farm.

“I’d use some of the money my parents provided me for school fees to support my tomatoes project on leased land in Juja, on the outskirts of town, and then pay the remaining school fees after selling my tomatoes at the end of the semester,” she explains.

Laureen is a happy farmer four years after graduating from university. She does, however, stress that tomato gardening necessitates complete devotion because the crop necessitates continual and meticulous attention.

“Tomatoes are highly demanding; you must devote 100% of your attention to them; you cannot afford to do phone farming with this crop.”
“This is my love,” she says, “and I even attended evening school so I could spend more time at the farm.”

She claims that one acre of tomatoes will yield around KES 300,000 if all goes according to plan.
Laureen persists in her labour of love, despite the fact that many others have given up. And no, she has no intention of looking for work; instead, she intends to focus on expanding her business.

Laureen plants tomatoes with all the love and cares that such a crop necessitates. Tomatoes may be only one of the items we use to cook with for most of us, but they are Laureen’s life and pride.
