“Tumetoka chuo kikuu cha Egerton na tunafanya utafiti juu ya kilimo. Tunataka kujua namna ya kupanusha bei, uuzaaji ya mazao, na ununuzi ya mahitaji ya kilimo kwa wakulima. Pia tunataka kukagua vile soko huru imesaidia au umethuru uwezo wa wakulima kuuza na kununua vyakula, na namna ya kuongeza ukuuzaji ya mimea ya kuuza. Tuta shukuru sana usaidizi unaweza kutupatia. Kusibu kwa maswali haya si wa kulasimisha na unaweza jubu yale maswalu unayotaka kusibutu. Marudio yako itakuwa SIRI KABISA. Tuta hoji vyumba 600 na kutoa matokeo ya hii nyumba yote kwa jumla.
