A retired Education Officer in Elburgon, Nakuru County, has found significant success and satisfaction by switching from traditional maize farming to cultivating sunflowers.

• David Bor, the former teacher, discovered sunflowers to be a more profitable and less complex crop than maize, with a potential earning of up to Sh140,000 per season.
• He utilized free certified sunflower seeds provided by the Ministry of Agriculture and a small capital investment of Sh9,000.
• Sunflower farming offers valuable by-products like oil for domestic use and husks for livestock, making it a zero-waste agricultural practice.
