Grafted Macadamia Seedlings sold at Farmers Trend nurseries are certified and of high productive variety known as Muranga 20. The most prefered Macadamia variety in Kenya<\/p>\n

As farmers transition from traditional crops like coffee and maize, macadamia farming<\/a><\/strong> is emerging as a lucrative alternative, offering a path to financial success. The reasons for this shift are clear: macadamia nuts are a high-value crop with strong global demand, fetching premium prices in the international market.<\/p>\n

This golden opportunity isn’t without its considerations. Selecting the right macadamia seedling variety is crucial for maximizing yields and profits. Here’s where the Muranga 20 variety shines.<\/p>\n

The Superiority of Muranga 20 Grafted Macadamia Seedlings<\/h2>\n

2. Early Maturity<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the most significant advantages of Muranga 20 is its early maturity.
