I have always admired and wanted to be a great farmer in life. Farming will always make sure that you have some food for your family and even excess that you may share with the less privileged.
As a human being, it is really sickening to see how people suffer yet we tend to forget about farming. When we eat fresh food, we live healthily. This can only be achieved via farming.
I long to be an example with the help of Zidisha, so as to change my place and my surrounding (neighborhood).
My farming business is still small and at times I make profits and losses.
I have largely depended on rain which at times fail me (too much rain or drought period).
Even though the going has not been smooth, I have managed to make some few deliveries to out local market called Kibuye. Currently, I am planning to gain access to make my deliveries to the local supermarkets.
This shall be achieved once I purchase some farm equipments and to venture into the Green-house farming.
The loan is going to be used for the purchase of a water pump and a greenhouse.
The water pump costs US$ 353 while the greenhouse costs US$ 2236.
This will increase my productivity in the farm thereby increased sales volume.
The profit shall have increased by over 100%, should I get these two equipments, i.e, Water pump and the greenhouse.
