Muguka farming has emerged as a highly profitable venture, surpassing the earnings of its counterpart, miraa. With a maturity time of just six months, muguka can be harvested weekly. In contrast, miraa requires monthly harvesting. The high demand for muguka has resulted in a significant client base, expanding the market reach for farmers. Mwaniki supplies muguka to markets in Mombasa, Malindi, and Garissa counties, but the supply does not meet the soaring demand.
“With one acre of muguka that is ready to harvest, you earn approximately, Sh50,000. In a month, that is Sh200,000, minus expenses incurred, you have approximately, Sh150,000. In four months, you have Sh600,000. In the same four months, on the same 1-acre shamba, you will harvest about 10 ninety kilo bags of maize, let’s say it fetches you Sh150,000, minus expenses incurred you have Sh100,000. That is why muguka is preferred by our people” Mwaniki explains.

While many of us think of Eid al-Adha as a day of celebration, coming together, interacting, and feasting, its history is rooted in a solemn act of sacrifice and devotion. This significant Islamic holiday holds deep meaning for Muslims, symbolizing selflessness and compassion. Today, Muslims worldwide will assemble for this feast of sacrifice, commemorating the profound story of Ibrahim and his unwavering faith in Allah’s command.
In Mecca, Saudi Arabia, the holiest city in Islam, Muslims gather to glorify the devotion of Ibrahim (Abraham) and his willingness to sacrifice his only son, Ismail (Ishmael), following Allah’s command. This act of obedience and submission serves as a testament to the unwavering faith of Ibrahim, which is celebrated during Eid al-Adha.
