About Me
Was born in the year 1992 in Nakuru in a village known mzee wanyama.its here that I was raised up and got my education upto form four level after a lot of struggle due to financial problems.in the year 2012 I joined University of eldoret and pursued a degree in General Agriculture up to 2016.
Since I was young I loved agriculture and its one of my hobbies.
In the year 2017 I joined Elimika Group as an extension officer and few months later I thought and came up with an ideaof becoming a seed multiplier.
I leased a land,approached KALRO and they approved my idea.I purchased new improved shangii potatoes variety worthy kshs30000($300) that I now multiply and supply to farmers.Am ready for my second season.
I love associating with youths.
My Business
The business started in May 2017 Where I approached KALRO and got new variety of potatoes know as Super shangii,I leased an acre of land and planted the seeds.
The aim was to multiply the seed and sell to locals in molo and kuresoi region
I have done first season and was able to provide seeds to 53farmers.
In the season am ready to set by End of November am targeting 500farmers.
One90kg bag I sell at kshs 3000($30).
Loan Proposal
I will rent another Two acres of land.this will be purely for producing potatoes seeds to be sold to nearby farmers at a little lower price than other farmers have been getting.one 90kg bag will cost Kshs3300 lather than previous Kshs 3500.
