Growing up has been very difficult for me because i had to start working at a very young age to feed my brothers and had to work during vacation to see myself through Senior High School (SHS). I had a difficult childhood but i was determined to go far in my education.
After my HND and national service I started a farming business in 2015. In my culture, we help the poor, needy and widows without expectations. I currently do not have kids and I like to visit orphanages and love to travel.
My business is currently into farming of rice, maize and yam.
The crops are daily food items consumed by Ghanaians. I choose this kind of business because i will like to be part of the farmers that feed citizens of the country,
Cost uncured include cost of land (most farm lands are rented yearly), plowing the land, purchase of seeds, planting of seeds and labor.
A percentage of my Profits goes back into the community were donations are made deprived communities while the rest in re-invested into the business.
I intend to top up and use the funds to purchase fertilizers for the crops in order to increase yield. Application of fertilizers is crucial to the growth of the crops and well being of the produce.
