Robin Ndun’gu, the 28-year-old founder and CEO of Kisumeo Organics, is establishing the first ever crawfish farming franchise in Kenya.
I studied computer science and mathematics but have always had an interest in aquaculture and initially did it as a hobby, running an integrated farm stocked with rabbits, chicken, tilapia and catfish. After completing my studies, I was organising events, but when business slowed down, I turned my farming hobby into a business to sustain myself. However, farming tilapia and catfish was expensive due to feed prices, which lowers the profit margins.
