Project Updates

The last project was a success and I used the funds to stock up on chicken feeds which helped to improve the egg production and also helped during the December period as we experienced a shortage of chicken feeds and the cold weather had adversely affected the egg production cycle. The funds were a great help.
The new project will be utilised to build more structures for the chickens as I am planning to increase the number of chickens from my current number of 100 chickens to atleast 200 chickens so as to increase the profit yield while reducing the overall overhead costs.

Hallo great members, I have received the funding. I will use the fund in purchase of concentrates for my dairy cows herd. This will enable me have quality feed ration. It will boost in my milk yield and be able to have an additional income from milk sales. Thank you.

I have always wanted to introduce Macadamia and Hass avocado farming in my rural area of Makueni which is actually known for orange, mangoes, and lemons.I believe an introduction of these farm products in Makueni (especially the HASS AVOCADO) will be able to be beneficial to rural small and large-scale farmers who depend too much on Citrus fruit farming which does not have export potential. The Hass avocado products' largest buyers are the Chinese and the current tonnage from Kenya cannot satisfy the market. So there is potential for diversification and engagement.I will use the funds to study and engage with the county government of the Makueni Ministry of Agriculture and introduce HASS AVACADO seedlings.

Thank you so much Mr David and CMB from Germany for supporting me in this investment. I plan to buy three cordless rechargeable clippers. Already I have made extension to the premise.
