About Me
My name is Simon, I am an Agriculturalist by profession. I do farming of horticultural produce for the local market while at the same time providing freelance consultancy services to farmers growing fruits and vegetables for both local and export markets.
My Business
My main business is farming of fruits and vegetables for the local market. I have leased a 4 acres farm for one year where I am growing Watermelon, Tomatoes, Leafy vegetables, and okra. Watermelon is the main crop whereas the rest I grow as per the local market requirements.
My plan is to gradually expand to at least 10 acres so that I can be able to grow more different crops as a way of spreading production risks and also create more job opportunities for the local community.
Project Proposal
The funds raised shall be used to purchase insecticides and fungicides for spraying on my crops. The crop is flowering and fruiting now and needs to be protected against insects pests and diseases for optimum productivity.
