What we do

TV

Budget Mkononi

Imagine an online budgeting tool that can estimate how much your agribusiness will cost and how much profit you will make. With Budget Mkononi, farmers can build personalised budgets on a range of commodities at the click of a button.

Take a Look

Welcome to Shamba Shape Up

Welcome to the 15th Year of Shamba Shape Up!

We have travelled all over East Africa to find hard working farmers. We want to celebrate them while giving them the knowledge they need. So they can adapt, and make their farms more productive, even while the climate changes. We want to support them to get better yields and turn their farms into successful businesses. We meet families and enter their kitchens to explore how to cook in cleaner, faster, cheaper ways. We will see how farmers from across the region can benefit from our expert’s advice. While also learning from each other, in so many ways. Join us on these journeys and share in the farmers experiences as they shape up their shambas. On the Shamba Shape Up safari.

Shamba Shape Up is a Mediae Company Production.
