Nkubu Icons Investment Ltd has leased a 25-acre farm located approximately 5 km off
the main Mombasa-Nairobi Highway. It is to the East of Emali Market off Emali-Wote
road. The area is suitable for production of Dorper sheep. The task was advertised. FFD
expressed interest and won the bid. The Investment Company, Nkubu Icons Investment
Ltd sought technical consultancy services from Future Focus Development and Commissioned FFD to carry out this assignment. From our pool of experts, some with over 30 years’ of consultancy experience in agriculture and livestock related value chains we
deployed 2 senior experts with relevant experience.

The study was to provide technical advice on the suitability of sheep farming enterprise to facilitate an informed decision-making process by the board: Whether venture into Mutton Production or Breeding. The consultants made a visit to the farm. At the time of the visit, the farm had a total of 31 heads of sheep that were in poor health condition; some due to age, inbreeding and poor nutrition. This farm has well-drained soils which seems to have been exhausted through farming activities over many years. It has a river frontage, a long Muhooni River. The Nkubu Icons Investment Ltd commissioned FFD to provide a) A comprehensive inventory report on the current status of the farm; b) A report incorporating  recommendations on improvements/optimizations in all areas captured in the Scope of Work; c) Cost estimates of implementing the recommendations/improvements highlighted.
