About Me

My name is Mhlangeni and I am a farmer. I grow crops and sell them at the nearby farmers market to raise money to expand my business. My dream is to one day be a large scale commercial farmer who empowers the local community.

My Business

I grow vegetables on the farm like tomatoes and green beans. Once our harvest is ripe, we transport it to the market to sell with the goal of expanding our business to supply retail shops and supermarkets and this is why I intend on diversifying our crop variety to include crops that can be sold at scale.

Loan Proposal

My business is an important part of food supply in the community and we employ people in the local community. I will use this loan to expand my business and grow more vegetables and diversify into other types of cash crops to ensure we stay open for business.

Income Source

My business supports many families in the community so we are vital in supporting both suppliers and customers. We are an essential service and so.we have not been affected by the current economic crisis.
