My Business

I have a business of dairy farming. For now I have two cows which give me around 20liters per day and cost of milk is 30 per liter so I get at least 600 per day from the income of milk and 18000 per month. This money I use for paying bills and educating my reimaing children also grow crops as part of my business where l get around 200000 annually from that kind of farming i get 400000 per a year from the work I do. I do not have a lot of expenses because I stay in my farm where we have built our home. i choose the above business because after school i helped my parent with same business so i got enough skill for that business and also i learnt about marketing and different seasons for different commodities. i would like to put new stock in my shop and also replace the finished stock. i will use all the money as follows kes 90000 for buying Rice, sugar, maize flour , wheat flour , soap both bar and powder etc I am hoping to receive more customers during the festival seasons.
