My Name is Daniel Barasa from Nakuru, Kenya. I am a young man of 25 years. I schooled up to form four in 2009 and i couldnt proceed to college because of financial problems. I am the eldest son in a family of six siblings and i am currently practicing tomatoe farming as a way of earning some income for myself.
My Business
In my business, i an a tomatoes farmer. I have a small piece of land where i grow tomatoes and harvest them then sell in nearby markets as a vendor. Sometimes villagers themselves come to my farm to buy the tomatoes, sometimes when the harvest is realy good i even sell the tomatoes on wholesale to other retailers. I chose to do this kind od business because i have sufficient knowledge of how to do it and also because the demand for tomatoes is alwasy high because tomatoes are basic household foodstuffs. I earn roughly Ksh. 6000 per month from this business which i use to support myself and my siblings. I also save Ksh. 700 per month for my future goals.
I will use the loan to buy a sprayer pump that i need to be using in spraying of pesticides and insecticides on my tomatoes. This is an often thing that must be done and the pump i was using just untill recently broke down beyong repair. When i buy the pump with this loan money, i will be using it in all tomatoe spraying activities to ensure i harves healthy and quality tomatoes.
