My name is Mathews Mumbi iam 29 years of age, i grew up in the rural set up of Zambia in the central province.I never completed my high school due to lack of funds .While at school at junior level i learnt how grew vegetable and also inspired by father who was a subsistence farmer before he died.After droping off from school, i went to do farming and rifght now iam a subsistence i grow different types of vegetable crops.Our country Zambia is peaceful and rich in tourism industry and the mining industry.Zambia is unique and since its independence in 1964, the country has peaceful and no civil wars have been recorded.I wish my children to become medical doctors and others agriculturist.During my free time i spend my time learning how to become an electrician or Mechanics.

I sale agriculture produce such as rape, beans, cabbage,tomatoes, onions, pumpkins and pumpkin leaves.These agriculture goods are on demand most people today in my community buy alot of vegetables and this is the reason why i want to grow more vegetable so that i should also distribute in supermarkets.i choose this business because it is profitable and this reason why i need a loan is to boost this crop vegetable farming to ensure that i have pesticides,irrigation facilities for easy watering of the vegetable and protect them from diseases that destroy the vegetable crop.The typical cost is let say ZMK 250 and Revenue is ZMK 650 which i use to reinvest into the poultry or chicken ran business am trying to diversify.

I need atleast USD 70 to help me buy pesticides and irrigation facilities to helping at the farm to water the vegetable gardens properly.The benefit will be that i will have good crop yeild and satisfy my customers who buys my vegetables.The profits margin expected will be USD 50 which is good turn over.
