Am an entrepreneurs, a business lady involved in agriculture business. I started agriculture business 10 years ago and it has been my livelihood and source of income. I wish my children to go to the University of Zambia and become lawyers or medical personnel.

My Business

My main source of income is agriculture business. I grow different types of crops such as vegetables, maize, legume, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, okra and onions. There goods are highly profitable and the demand is very high because the goods are very useful in many household in our community. Mostly the profits made are I use them to buy the farming inputs needed for my crops to grow very well. Profits are also used for home improvement and for paying school fees for my children.

Project Proposal

Am planning to buy the insecticides, pesticides and herbicides to help me to destroy insects that are destroying or eating or killing the crops from growing accordingly in crop farm gardens. These pesticides will benefit and help me a lot by preserving the crops and produce a good crop production for sale and for home consumption. Am expecting to produce 400 bags of 90kg of maize of which 350 bags will be for sale @ K 350 per bag and will be expecting K 70,000 as profit increase as compared to the last harvest where I had less profits due to drought of rain.
