Cool venture. It's so funny that he even speaks English with a Kenyan accent.

Everyone in the comments is talking about his accent, but this guy has a lot of brilliant insights into the Kenyan startup world. The opportunities, the hurdles, the role of Government and social culture... This is a brilliant interview.

Gosh, I can’t get past his very, very Kenyan accent.

As a Kenyan, if I listened to audio of this video alone, I'd say he was born and grew up in our country...pure Kenyan accent!

This is a long lost kalenjin returning home

This is beautiful to see and hear. As a kenyan farmer myself based in USA for now with experience running a large American dairy farm(Wisconsin). I appreciate your vision. Feed Feed Feed is key to successful dairy farming. Mechanization is key and there is potential to doing custom work for farmers who cannot invest in farm machinery. I believe we need leaders that can support this and cut down on regulations and that kitu kidogo culture so that farmers can produce more. This kitu kidogo culture has eaten our beautiful country and people need to be fed. I hope one day I will meet you and shake your hand. I saw this vision long time ago and it took you from a far to play it out. Bravo my man Bravo. Talk soon.

He has acquired the local accent. Bravo!

Eric you're doing s great job for Kenyans .I live in Europe and What your are doing is big here .I believe this has been missing in Kenya for daily farmers . Bravo!

future millionaires in Kenya will come from farming period.

I remember meeting him at the AFDA conference at the KICC. Very well versed in the farm inputs sector

One thing l love about utmost precision is they share contacts of their content kudos. Your channel is reliable.

This is great work..These are the white people we want in Kenya.Amazing contribution!!!!

I like the fact that you have created employment for over 20 something Kenyans. Well done. Wish you all the best.

These are the type of immigrants we need in kenya

If I listened to an audio, I'll definitely think he's a kenyan.

This makes me feel like just pack ma way back home and do farming.....good work.

De Jong please keep going don't go away. Am wrapping up my life in diaspora to come back home. I have heavy passion for modernised agriculture. Mechanization, technology and modern techniques is what i need so your assistance is very vital. So please stay in Kenya an on they way !!

now that's what am talking about. agriculture. awesome. and i have been following Kenya diary farmers for a while now . and i see that they are very serious about agriculture. . but they can use some machines too. but men this is awesome. i love it. i which you a lot of success. in Kenya. Africa as a whole can damn sure use more machines like that . more agriculture equipment's as a whole. but its is a start and i know that the business is gonna do just fine. awesome. GOD BLESS.

Thank you "Kinyanjui" 😂I love you and what you're doing.

Great work may God bless the works of your hands .Thank you for creating jobs for us.

I am SAfrican, watching this from SA, I feel like moving to Kenya already. May you keep on rising, broer. One day I hope to meet you & partner with you.

Dude got all Kenyan on us😳. I admire his zeal to serve and understand the culture and improve lives he is not all about big business only.

Excellent work 👍👍, this concept was practiced few decades ago in many farms in the rift valley, glad to see good farm management and practices coming back to play.

Wow...wonderful stuff my bro...I'm not from Kenya but southern africa....welldone Eric

Yes bro yes one love and mostly What is important is learn to live together may God bless the work Of your hands and the love of teaching My people modern things. Love from England.

I respect a man who moves out of his mother land and sees an opportunity elsewhere. You are strong. and like you mentioned, Kenya has lots of hurdles for a new entrepreneur simply because some people want to make money by taking advantage of few government bureaucratic processes. If system were as clear kenya is lovely country for everyone.

Congratulations, Farmers are relevant in every society.

Woooow!! Guy even has a Kenyan accent. Kudos. Good stuff.

Hi Erick. I am glad for re-watching your content. I had dozed off it is now 1:08 AM 31st Nov 2020. Most welcome to Kenya and I hope you enjoy your new home. You already have an ascent - karibu nyumbani.

I heard of something similar to this. An auctioneer in our area (Wisconsin) said some guy from Brazil or somewhere down south said a guy would call up and buy used dairy and forage equipment and they would ship it down south in containers. He would sell them to farmers

What an incredible challenge to succeed in a different culture. 🐄🐄😷👍

This Guy Eric speaks in a Kenyan accent. I now know you, i will definitely visit. And I hereby baptise him Eric Kinyanjui.

Wao, how I love farming. It's good that you are also educating farmers when selling your machines. Soon Kenya will be like Noarfarm.

Eric is doing a good job in Eldoret

God bless you Eric for the good work

Why is your accent kikuyus from gatundu 🤔🤔 anyway, you're doing a very good job, i hope you married a Kenyan girl and a kikuyu 😕it's good to eradicate both problems. Am impressed by what you're doing.

This guy's journey is amazing. After listening to him you would guess he learned English in Kenya. I wonder if him being a foreigner is a help or a hindrance.

He has the accent of east africa .omg the guy didnt stay for a while its been ages

An interesting and inspiring story. Thanks for sharing.

I like this market analysis and accurate description of the procedure on start-ups at the grassroot level for every entrepreneur and the limitations as well with the government process on permits.

thanks, that was good to hear your story. I am based in Fiji

This brother is unique...good job Eric

Eric Uganda needs u too

Keep up the good work @Eric De Jong!!

Hi i am moe from kebumen in central java in indonesia. It is so inspiring. Thankd. God bless you

Great, I look forward to collaborate with you in developing quality feeds and hand held machine for small scales farmers. I hope to visit your office soon for more information

A great work you are doing Eric. Keep going. will be in touch.

Wewe sasa ni mmoja wetu!!!!!! It is indeed interesting; this is essentially the core business that K.F.A. Co-op. Limited, which our own people exponentially destroyed, had been founded to undertake!!!

He’s the farm Plug! I dig it

Thank you Sir, please keep doing the good work. 👍👍

It's true, people (farmers)pay alot of money for machinery.

Wow am encouraged,his accent sounds Kenyan

God bless you brother. This is what we need

Thank you for the simple to heart message ,it touched me very deeply .Iam from Darfour ,in Sudan ,iam thinking of similar project in my home ,would you be willing to give me advice about the machinery,where to buy them,their prices

Agriculture machines are tax free in Kenya at the port of entry

Nice Eric, I have been to your shop in Eldoret, nice work👍🏽

He picked up a Kalenjin Kenyan accent in 4 years. Meanwhile, Indians born in Kenya speak with an Indian accent😕

Great story... good job Eric !

Amazing work...

This man is a fighter and inspirational

Great story, thank you

Wonderful lesson

Keep it going Brother...i like what you Doing overthere,ill learn a lot from you. .. im from TZ

Thanks to the Internet, i can watch this interesting story

Very good information. Thanks for being involved

I'm very happy with you I would like to meet you so that you can advise me on silage farming

Thank you for the awesome information

Why does he sound like Eric Kipchumba ... 😊 Beautiful venture though**

well done my brother

Great Ventura keep up the great work

Great work with a great opportunity. Keep going Sir.🇰🇪

Hi Eric I'm based in ekurhuleni south Africa I wanted to plant silage but I don't know how and where to get the seeds. If I can get advice. This is the good work that you are doing.

Thanks Erick. I like this. Keep it up!

I like the explanation and articulation of facts. Kudos, how can I team up with you. I live in a partially dry place I do not mind buying feed from you plus other farm equipments.

Great Video Eric, Kudos, regards Stuart

Nice to watch

Brilliant. Keep the good work up.

Agriculture is a multi billionaire sector, the sad story is the failure by the government to regulate the subdivision of land , this has led to productive agricultural land being subdivided to small 50x100 plots, which in the long term people will be left without farm.

Very valid points about logistics...whoever figures that out for africa will be a very rich woman/man..... his accent tho if I didn't see him I'd think he's kenyan wow

He speaks like a Kenyan, wow

Good job Eric

Dear Eric, Thanks for sharing your story with us. It’s so inspirational - especially for someone like me that is dreaming of starting a small agricultural consultancy in Kenya. I will graduate soon in Plant Science//Agroecology from Wageningen University. I would love to learn more from you. How did you manage the risks related to expanding your business? Where in Kenya are you based currently? and do you have an email address so I can contact you further?

Congratulations Eric

I like your accent bro. Wewe ni Mkenya halisi.

Thought the idea and message is more important than accent

Congratulations sir great work

Africa is so cheap for Caucasians and Arabs but very, very expensive for Africans in the continent and outside Africa.
