I was born in kisumu county. i spent my time in Nyahera, which is a village in kisumu. After high school i got married in siaya county where i stay currently in a village called Kobare. i have been farming since I was young. however, i have never found the opportunity venture in commercial farming due to limited funds. In most cases my farming has been for subsistence use. Nonetheless, I have not lost hope in the possibility of venturing in commercial farming.
My business has mainly been small scale farming where at times i do sell my crops when i need some cash. however, i still consider it subsistence farming because little input is utilized in the farms. moreover, the outcome is usually used at home except for a few sales here and there to help meet my needs. However, Zidisha funding will enable me to increase cash crop production, especially maize and vegetables which are in demand here, i will be able to increase my produce and hence stat commercial farming. my farm included crops such as maize, and beans as well as peanuts. if i increase my input then i believe i will realize more profit from the farm. thanks.
I'd wish to invest in commercial farming as this would increase my earnings. I am planning to use the cash to buy more farm inputs like seeds and fertilizers to improve my income from sales. I also plan to employ a youth to help me work the farm. Zidisha would be very helpful to me through you lenders, I'll be grateful to you all for the loan, thanks!
