My Business

Orange Farming
I started orange farming after my College Education. Farming is something I have interest in right from childhood. I opted for it simply becauase my parents main occupation is farming and for that matter has a large pieces of farm land. So aquisition of land was not a problem. I have been continously planting oranges for the past 5 years and I am now having about 8 acre land of orange plants. Those ones I planted in my first year has started bearing fruits and is amazing how people troop in to buy it. I am currently having five(5) permanent workers and employ 5 casual workers during harvest time.The need has arisen to make expansion of the farm since there are still land to work on . I am therefore pleading to Zidisha Lenders to support me make my dream be a reality.


REPAYING OF LOAN
Because people patronize the product very well, I am able to make profit and can pay the loan from the profits. Aside this, I am a teacher and for that matter,I receive a monthly salary with which I can service the loans I am given. I therefore assure the lenders and the organization as a whole of my commitment to repaying every loan I will be granted.
Thank you.

Loan Proposal

Now after planting the seedlings, it has become necessary that I buy some chemicals to help guard the plants against pests and fungi that post a major threat to them.Due to bad rainfall pattern that we are experiencing here in Ghana,some of the seedlings could cope and have died out and as we are doing the replanting,it is in good interest as well that we prevent the survived ones from any such harmful bacteria and pests infections.I therefore,intend to buy some bags of fertilizers, fungicides and other pest control chemicals at the estimated cost of about 250 dollars with the amount I secure. It will help the maximum survival of the plants.
