About Me

I am Helga, I am a female living in Solwezi North-Western province of Zambia. Last year my maize farm didn't do very well and I decided to start something easy to manage hence I have gone into rabbit farming. So far I have more than 50 rabbits. And I want to expand this business and hopefully become an international rabbit farm because rabbit meat is health and natural.

My Business

One rabbit is going at k150 that is the sale for a big rabbit, a medium rabbit is selling at k100 and a baby rabbit is k50. Rabbits are very interesting animals, they can give birth up to 4-5 times in a year and they can give birth up to 10 of baby rabbits.

Loan Proposal

With the loan i could want to start farming maize in North Western province. And my market is the Democratic Republic of Congo the maize business will not demand on the farm products but 'll also but maize from the local farmers this 'll help the business not to slow down and 'll be a able to meet the demands of the people who we are selling our products to. In the future the business will grow and our plans to expand it is to grow maize through our the year this 'll mean the company has to get involved in irrigation farming.
Your quick request and support to this application 'll be highly appreciated.
