My Business

My business is farming and it involves tomatoes farming in 1 acre of our land, Subukia is known as a place where tomatoe farming is practised by many. From as far as Nairobi, retailers and wholesalers come for this product here. Way back we had a processing plant at a place called Kabazi, that is Kabazi Canners but it closed its doors as many farmers could not cope with their low price and delayed payment. We are currently at second season which runs mostly from November to April. During my first season January to October I planted this crop and it did well I was able to repay the loan. I am also slightly getting into French Beans farming but has not done that full as I intend to study the market first.

Loan Proposal

Dear Zidisha and Lenders, I am requesting for Zidisha loan to Extend my tomatoe farming, I have been concentrating on the sale and sometimes do buy from other farmers and due to my knowledge in the market, I have not been able to fully satisfy the market. With extra land, I will be able to increase my Supply and still concentrate on selling. The cost of hiring new land is USD 200 for 2 acres and then I will do the planting. Due to my vast knowledge in market, I am convinced that this is a profitable venture and am looking forward for even better future.
