Born and raised in Eldoret taking care of our family farm. We planted wheat and maize and sold them to get money to buy other essential items and pay for school fees
At the moment am working as a Vegetable distributor as i supplement my income. The business sources fresh produce from farmers directly and sell the in wholesale and retail to traders and final consumers in Nairobi and its environs
The vegetable sub-sector is important in attaining food security and improving livelihood for smallholder farmers who produce 100% of the African vegetables and up to 70% of the Exotic and Asian vegetables. The major vegetables produced in Kenya are: Irish Potatoes, tomatoes, cabbages, snow peas, kales, spinach, runner beans, French beans, carrots, broccoli, indigenous vegetables, and Asian vegetables. In terms of enterprise value per acre, tomatoes are the most lucrative, followed by cabbages and French beans.
Profits are used to buy food and pay school fees
The money will help me prepare a signboard for my Business to make it visible to potential and existing customers thereby reaching more persons.
I expect to increase customer base by 20% and profits by 10%
