Hello great lenders. I am Lucy Machira. I come from Nyeri County, Kenya, at Tetu sub-county from a village called Gititu. I later went to Gilgil where i have been working as a businesswoman. I am currently living in Gilgil, Nakuru Subcounty. My passion has been farming and i have longed to have my own shamba where i will produce vegetable for my family and later on start a business for transporting kales in nearby big market like Gikomba and Chaka. I have enough produce now and i am looking for a loan from you inorder to transport my products as per. I have got the information about you from a friend of mine you have help a lot.
I now own a shamba and i have been farming kales and some fruits likes pawpaw, mangoes, avocadoes but i mainly dealt with the kales. I have been selling my products to a nearby market which is Gilgil market and also to individuals who own small grocery shops. I wish to further my business by transporting them to Gikomba and Chaka but at the moment i have no enough money for transportation.
My farm is located in Gitare village here in Gilgil but takes my produce to Gilgil market on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
I will use my loan to buy fertilizers for my farm produce. I would like to add urea fertilizer and DAP which goes for $1.50 a kilo and $1.15 respectively. It will add the produce since the rainy seasons have started thus creating great profit. I expect the produce to rise by 69% from the current state.
I will be very grateful if offered the loan. Thank you.
