With more people engaged in cashew farming and related processing industries, there will be a higher demand for housing and commercial spaces. Real estate developers will need to cater to:
- Farmers and Workers: With 10,500 farmers set to benefit, there will be an increased need for affordable and mid-range housing solutions.
- Processing Facilities: Investors setting up cashew processing plants will require industrial spaces.
- Business Growth: The rise in economic activity will attract businesses, creating a demand for commercial real estate, office spaces, and retail centers.

Increased Land Value and Demand
As seen in other regions where large-scale agricultural investments have taken place, land value tends to appreciate significantly. The demand for both residential and commercial properties in Kilifi is expected to rise, making this the perfect time to invest.

- Early Investment Advantage: Property prices are still relatively affordable, but with ongoing developments, appreciation is inevitable.
- Strategic Location: Kilifi’s accessibility to major highways, beaches, and towns makes it an attractive option for investors.
- Economic Growth Catalyst: The cashew nut investment, coupled with government support for cooperatives and SACCOs, is creating a conducive environment for real estate expansion.
Government’s Commitment to Sustainable Development
Governor Gideon Mung’aro has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to facilitating investment by ensuring proper land allocation and cooperative support. His issuance of Ksh 21 million to 23 SACCOs and Ksh 4.5 million to farmer producer groups under the National Agricultural Value Chain Development Project (NAVCDP) will further boost economic activities, leading to more real estate opportunities.
Future Real Estate Projections for Kilifi
With the government aiming to expand cashew farming from 33,732 acres to 170,000 acres, the need for housing, warehouses, and office spaces will skyrocket. Some key real estate trends to watch include:
- Growth of Eco-Friendly Communities: Sustainable farming and eco-tourism will drive the need for green and sustainable housing projects.
- Development of Agribusiness Estates: Integrated developments catering to farmers, processors, and exporters.
- Expansion of Coastal Luxury Homes: As Kilifi gains more prominence, high-end residential properties will see increased interest from investors.
