About Me

I am Antony maina, I reside in molo, am a third born in a family of seven members, I started school at molo day school where I did my primary education and joined shiners boys for secondary education, I later joined Meru technical university for a artisan course. In my area my father owned a very big piece of land after college I couldn't find a job and had to accompany my elder brother who is a farmer, I started to like farming and decided to fully invest in potatoes farming.

My Business

I plant potatoes in large scale, I own three acres of land where I do farming, I sell my produce in our local market, once the potatoes are harvested I take them to my store which is along the road aiming to sell to travellers and local people.

Project Proposal

I do apprecjate the support, i will now use this loan to prepare land through digging and applying manure to get ready for planting of potatoes. This will increase my yields.
