COMFUND WEATHER CHANNEL: RAINS ARE INBOUND, PREPARE TO PRUNE YOUR COFFEE/ CASHEWNUT TREES THEREAFTER
As per Kenya Meteorological Department's weather report, the 2026 March- April – May (MAM) rains season is underway. As a result, crops such as coffee and cashew nuts are expected to develop tall and wide branches, putting up a bushy canopies.
Such a bushy canopy prevents sunlight from getting into important sections of the plant. Sunlight is a key component that enables plant to make its food through photosynthesis process, as well as killing some microbes that reside under the shades of branches, therefore reducing harmful pests and diseases. Secondly, bushy canopy prevents air circulation within the branches of the coffee or cashew nuts bush.
This is why it is highly recommended to periodically prune your coffee or cashew nut crop. Pruning involves getting rid of unnecessary coffee or cashew nut tree branches. By pruning, you increase the ability of the sunlight reaching all ‘dark’ corners of the coffee/ cashew nuts plant, while improving aeration.
This enables the plant to develop new, healthy branches that have been found to increase flowering, hence improving productivity (amount of coffee or cashew nuts produce per single tree) and production (overall produce of the coffee/ cashew nuts crop on your farm).
At the same time, you help to manage pests and diseases, since sunlight can easily penetrate through. Even when you are spraying pesticides or foliar fertilizer, you are able to easily reach all parts of the coffee or cashew nut tree, due to increased spacing between the branches.
During the March-April- May Rain season, mature coffee and cashew nuts crop plants that are not in production are bound to develop bushy, unwanted branches all over. As a farmer, you are highly advised to undertake pruning within recommended calendar of activities for both coffee and Cashew nuts crops.
To do this, you need dedicated financing. This is why Commodities Fund, a national government Agricultural Fund exists: To enable you access affordable financing to pay for, among other crop management costs, the pruning for your coffee and cashew nuts crops.
