Starting an egg distribution business is one of the easiest and most reliable ways to make money daily in Kenya. With KSh 100,000, you can begin with enough stock, crates, transport, and cash flow to keep the business moving.
Below is a clear guide on how to start and grow it:
- Find a reliable poultry farm or wholesaler
Your supplier controls your peace of mind.
If the chickens are poorly fed, the eggs will be small or weak.
If the supplier keeps changing prices, you will keep losing customers.
Choose a farm that is consistent, clean, and known for stable pricing.
Your profit depends on it.
- Start with a quantity you can manage
You don’t need to start big. Begin with what you can carry and sell quickly. If you buy eggs at KSh 350 per tray and sell at KSh 375, you make KSh 25 profit per tray. With KSh 100,000 capital, you can comfortably start with 250–280 trays per cycle, depending on transport and crate costs.
The goal is speed and reliability.
- Start with customers close to you
Your first market is around you:
— neighbours
— food vendors
— mini-marts
— small restaurants
— kibandas
— hotels around your estate
Walk in, introduce yourself, and offer weekly supply.
In this business, physical presence beats online marketing.
- Focus on freshness and careful handling
Eggs break easily — and broken eggs are pure loss.
To protect your profit:
— Use clean, strong crates
— Pack carefully
— Deliver gently
— Keep eggs fresh
When customers know your eggs arrive clean, fresh, and intact, they will never leave you.
- Create a simple weekly routine
Have specific days for:
— Buying
— Sorting
— Delivering
A routine makes your income predictable and makes customers depend on you.
- Build small online visibility
Your online page is not the main driver of growth, but it adds trust.
Post clean crates, weekly supply runs, and happy customers.
People trust consistency.
How much can you make?
If you sell 200 trays a week with KSh 25 profit per tray:
— Daily profit (about 30 trays/day): KSh 750
— Weekly profit: KSh 5,000
— Monthly profit: KSh 20,000
— If you grow to 500 trays/week: KSh 12,500/week (50,000/month)
As your client list grows, your income grows automatically.
With KSh 100,000, discipline, and consistency, you can build a strong and dependable poultry supply business. Start small, treat customers well, deliver freshness, and expand your network slowly.
This is one of the few businesses where you can earn money every week—and grow steadily without stress.
