About Me

My name is Erick Lumbasi Nyongesa, a father for two boys Aged fifteen years and thirteen years. Professionally I am a paraveterinarian with a passion in value addition to farm produce,and all other farming related activities like chicken rabbits and fruit trees.

My Business

My main bussiness at the moment is buying farm produce from main farmers for resale on retail basis to the retail markets at a profit.
Currently buying onions and water melons.
With the help and akills aquired from the ZIDISHA FAMILY,I now also upgraded and started a rabbitry at the moment I have thirty five rabbits, hopefully to scale up at the end of the year to around one hundred new young ones.

Loan Proposal

The amount will be used for freight charges from the farms to the retail markets. And God willing with times the amount increases, so will my upscale in the acreage of the produce that I will be buying.

    The current loans helped a lot as I used to pay for freight charges for my onions purchased from the farms to the retail market.
    This coming season I will be upgrading and start buying water melons for resale, and this will upscale my business.

    Thanks for the amount offered, it helped resettle a debt for the supply of onions, as the farmer wanted to buy an insecticide for his crops.

    the funds will be used to source for more produce from the farms ,as there's increased consumption each passing day.
