I was born in Murang'a county and I schooled at Kombi primary school. I am a father of one (a daughter),I used to do odd jobs after school for sustanance and saving the little I got to start a business. I like farming which has motivated me to business. Farming my family inspired me to it as i witnessed them raising as, paying bills with no difficulties through farming . As know i have inherited them as i am able to pay school fees for my kid and stand with my family.

I deal with buying and reselling of arrow roots. i usually by in bulky then i transport them to Mombasa and resell them at a profitable value. Arrow roots are in demand depending on their tastes. Various Arrow roots from different regions have have their different tastes. Most of Arrow roots from our region are in demand due their good tastes. I preferred this kind of business to the limitation of this kind of cash crop but they are in high demand hence more market for the goods.

Transportation costs and Labour cost are the most typical costs i incurred The revenue i get depends on the number of customers buying the goods per day.

I am planning to reinvest in real estates business and employ people in my business.

I will use the money to buy pigs and after a period of time i sell them in profitable price , pigs have high demand en also help in organic manure when it come in farming . Pig have little labour moreso labour work won't be excess and no stress in handling them .
