Greenhouse farming

1. Greenhouses protect crops such as tomatoes and capsicum from rain and some pests, but cost more to build and manage.
2. Good ventilation, clean water and hygiene are essential.
3. Plan crop rotation and sanitation inside the greenhouse as well.
4. Work out costs and expected returns before you invest.
5. Visit working greenhouse farms and talk to your extension officer first.

Verify locally: figures, varieties and product choices differ by altitude, season and variety. Confirm with your county agricultural extension officer or KALRO before acting.
