Am a farmer and am actively involved in growing of vegetables which is the main source of my income and revenue. I grow and I sale different types of vegetables such as, cabbages, onions, rape, tomatoes, spinach, green pepper and sweet potatoes. This business is the main source of income since I was a boy, grandmother gave me the inspiration and the motivation to focus on agriculture business, because out of agriculture business came some funds to pay for my education. Therefore, I have taken keen interest as well to develop this business so that I can realize the dream through this sector of business.
