My name is Patrick Mukanzi from Amalemba village Kakamega.I attended musingu primary for my primary certificate and later(2000)joined kakamega high for my secondary certificate.i later joined and completed my deploma course in business management at jomo kenyatta university of agriculture and technology.I was employed as a business mentor in Village Enterprise(NGO based in kakamega) from 2010-2014.My role was to train business owners,monitor their businesses ,collect and submit weekly reports and data collection.
I am am currently involved in self employment(agribusiness).I grow and sell vegetables which include kales,capsicum,and pepper.Business is my main source of income.I have also begun livestock business(piggery) .
I like playing soccer during my leisure
My weekly average sales in vegetables -$300.I sell my products to schools and to suppliers in kakamega town.There is little competition since i offer the best products.
Demand for vegetable products is high in this region since many farmers only grow vegetables for domestic use and not commercial.
Risks encountered include:weather changes and perish-ability.
I will buy 30kg of DAP-$18,30kg CAN-$18.DAP and CAN fertilizer will enable healthy and fast maturity of my products which will lead to satisfaction of demand.There will be timely delivery of my products.I will also expand my farm through additional vegetable growing due to enough fertilizer.As a result of expansion,my crops will also be attractive to my potential customers thus increasing my income and improving my livelihood
