KENYA · GUIDE 0201 · EDITION 4.2
Estate vegetable kiosk in Kenya
A compact kiosk offering a deliberately short daily vegetable range, with weighed portions and a visible price board.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional estate collection: 20 vegetable bags, each containing 0.5 kg tomatoes, 0.5 kg red onions and 0.5 kg white potatoes. Produce remains whole; washing, cutting and cooking are excluded. The intake budget assumes 11 kg of each crop to obtain 10 saleable kilograms after sorting, a hypothetical loss scenario that must be measured. Each accepted bag therefore contains 1.5 kg net produce, not a vague mixed handful.
Who is the first customer?
Residents walking home and small neighbourhood kitchens.
Test the offer
