I am a small entrepreneur and i am married and blessed with a lovely daughter. I am a small dairy farmer located in the outskirts of Nairobi in a more peri-urban environment. i have had a good education in my early years where i have gone through the primary education all the way to college education where i studied a business course. I started off with employment however due to my exposure to farming thanks to my parents i developed a passion for dairy farming and with time i changed course and ventured in to small time farming to augment my income. It is a good venture where i am able to get income to support my family and with good management skills i can be able to plan better so as to achieve good returns.
I get most of my income through dairy farming currently i have two cows which are able to produce at least 100 litres of milk in a week. i usually sell 70% of the total production and leave at least 30% for domestic consumption. It is a good and stable revenue source however there is a lot of competition resulting in huge supply that has reduced the prices at the market. However i am able to sell a litre at around Kshs 80-100. I am passionate at what i do and will continue to augument my income through the venture and i know at some point in time will grow it to be a large business.
To increase my inventory of animal feed to ensure i get more income through higher milk production as a result of giving my animals animal feed to supplement the Napier grass that is dwindling in supply.
