About Me

I'm hardworking, honest and reliable young man. I'm an engineering graduate, currently searching for a job. In the meantime, i have a started a farming business at my village, Growing and selling vegetables. A little loan can expand my farming produce

My Business

I do farming at my village. I have inherited a 2 acre shamba from my father, very productive land. I produce around 60 sacks of sukuma wiki every three months. One sack sells at 2000,that makes around 120000 in that period. If i can get to buy or rent more shambas, i can make thousands if not millions in a few years

Project Proposal

In the last fews years, i started a vegetable farming project on my 2 acres of inherited land to start a farming project. At first, i wasn't sure what to farm exactly. After consultation with friends and studying the job market, i resulted to vegetable farming, especially Sukuma week. The journey has been tough, struggling with the new endeavour, fighting pests and learning farming skills. But finally, i mastered the science of cultivation and quality produce. Currently, i produce 60 sacks in three months, 1 sack sells at 2000. The demand is high and i look forward to expand my business
