About Me
I am a Kenyan Citizen born in Nyeri County. I am the 6th born in a family of 7. My parents are subsistence farmers where i achieved my passion in farming. This is where i started my schooling up to the O levels. I later joined Aviation college in Nairobi where i took a diploma in Aviation Cargo Handling. After the completion of my diploma, it was hard to get a job and joined my parents back home where they were doing poultry farming. After 2 years at home, i got a job with Kenya Airways Cargo. The job did not last for long before we were retrenched. Luckily i had managed to purchase a small piece of land and together with the little savings i had, i decided to venture into the poultry business having had prior experience from my Parents. I enjoy doing this with the support of my wife and my 6 yrs old son who likes feeding the chicken and collecting eggs with me.
My Business
I am involved in Agri business and majoring in poultry business. I produce eggs having identified a market demand at our local area. I chose eggs production as most farmers are doing chicken meat production and this is why i chose to be unique. I supply the eggs to most of my surrounding customers while others come for them in the farm. I manage to cater for my bills and educate my 6yrs old son with the profits I achieve. The risks involved in this business is the loss that i encounter with the breakages while transporting the eggs. I hope these risks and losses will be minimal as the business grows.
