Description
Macadamia is a beautiful tree, very forgiving; resilient to all-weather, accommodative
for old
people; they don’t need to work so hard nor climb to pick the nuts but wait for them
to fall. The macadamia nut tree is indigenous to Australia but introduced in Kenya
from 1945 to 1948. In Kenya, it grows roughly in the same climate suitable for
growing coffee.
The grafted seedling takes 3-4 months to be ready for planting out on the farm.
Seedlings are planting out in the field at a spacing of 9m x 9m or 10 m x 10 m or
more if the trees are
intercropped with coffee or any other crop e.g. maize; however, if they are being
planted as a pure orchard, the spacing should be 4m x 10 m or 5 m x 10 m.
Kenya is sitting on a gold mine that if properly utilized would reap huge benefits for
the country.
For many years, tea and coffee farming has been the major source of income for
thousands of
farmers, however, they are now changing tides and switching to macadamia nut
farming.
Macadamia has become a lucrative produce all over sudden with a kilo of the nuts
selling for
more than a hundred and a grafted seedling price shooting up from 300 to 500
Kenya Shillings.
Between1986 to 2002 the price ranged between 7 to 23 Shillings per kg., and in
2005 it averaged
80 Shillings per Kg.
The Kenya macadamia nut industry is currently made of approximately 900,000
trees of varying ages from one year to 20 years, grown by over 100,000 small-scale
farmers with an average of 6 -12 trees per grower. Annual production is about 4,000
metric tons of nuts-in-shell. These produce about 800 metric tons of marketable
kernels, making the main commercial product. Other by-products such as oil, are
minimal. Producers get from nuts-in-shell Shillings 92 million per year.
Kenya is the third-largest macadamia producer and the second-largest exporter of
macadamias. Many Kenyan farmers are integrating macadamia trees into their
coffee and tea plantations. They view macadamia output as insurance against the
uncertainties of weather that affect coffee and tea.
