1. Why the Diaspora Is Investing Back Home
Kenyans abroad are increasingly channeling remittances into farmland and agribusiness. Unlike urban real estate, farmland offers long-term appreciation, passive income, and social impact.
2. Verify Before You Buy
Start by confirming land ownership with the Ministry of Lands or a trusted advocate. Ensure the title deed is genuine, unencumbered, and matches the seller’s ID. Avoid “quick deals” that skip due diligence.
3. Work with Trusted Partners
Engage reputable property consultants or agribusiness firms that specialize in managing diaspora investments. They can handle sourcing, verification, and operations transparently.
4. Choose the Right Location
Coastal and central counties—like Lamu, Kilifi, and Laikipia—offer excellent potential for livestock, horticulture, or tourism projects. Always match location with your intended use (e.g., irrigation for farming or proximity to ports for export).
5. Monitor Your Investment Digitally
Use digital dashboards, GPS mapping, and periodic reporting systems. Technology now allows diaspora investors to monitor their farms remotely, ensuring peace of mind and accountability.
