My name is Magret Phiri I am a 30 year old female who resides in Lusaka Zambia shantumbu chalala. I have a husband and 5 children whom I support entirely. I have a small farm that I started about 5 years ago when I first acquired some personal land of my own. I am a small scale commercial farmer, for 5 years I haven't been in any formal employment but my crops have been able to sustain my household together with paying of school fees of all of my 5 children.
I am a small scale farmer. I grow various crops which include vegetables and maize which I sale to marketers and also for home consumption. My business has been sustaining my family for 5 years now and I am happy to say that it has been sustaining my household financially.
As we are at the peak of rain season, I am planning on buying some pipes and sprinklers so that I can modify the already existing irrigation system at the farm. I plan on clearing the maize and planting new crops which will need to be watered effectively all year long. With this loan I'm applying for, I can get new pipes and sprinklers which will make the job of watering much easier when rain season elapses.
Yes they are risks but because of the type of business that I am in I am not worried in having no business. I have many customers especially the marketers line up everyday to order fresh vegetables so I'm sure that I will be able to pay back my loan with ease.
