After schooling i was employed as cowboy by my neighbour to look after the cattles with a salary of sh4000 a month. I work for one year having save sh30,000 and that i was able to start my business . Before i start i reseach s lot of businness ideas until i come up with farming because of the demands of farming products in our local market.

My Business

Iam a farmer who grows maize,bean and potatoes . Maize is consume locally by the resident and outside the county while potatoes is for making chips mainly in towns and even in our small town the demand is do high.
I conside farming because of soil in our area is suitable for growing of maize and potatoes and also availability of market in our local market.
I have 2acres which i rent one for maize mixed with beans crops and the other for potatoes .maize can take 6 months to mature while beans and potatoes can take 3months to mature so every 4months i can have beans and potatoes . This year i havest 70 bags of potatoes and 4 sags of beans while maize is still in the farm . I sale each bag of potatoes for 1500 sh making sh105,000 while beans sale each 6,000Sh each msking 24,000sh the profit was sh100,000.
The profit a can use yo psy ft our kids school fees and save some since i want to buy a plot
