About Me

I am the last born of a family of four. My passion for youth development and farming made manifest when I was 16years old. I studied Agriculture at the Senior High level and tertiary level. The problem of youth unemployment challenged me to start my own business in Landscape development. I now have a poultry farm business to support my community and earn an income. Togetherness is one unique key in my nation Ghana. My hobby is reading, farming and research.

My Business

Greepec farms is into snail rearing, mushroom and poultry farming. It is a lucrative venture due to the high demands by people and its profitability. Also since most of our diet intake is animal protein the business has yielded me good returns to take care of my family and parents. Feeding cost is a major challenge but profit is about 80% assured after sales. Mostly i use profit to expand my business.

Loan Proposal

The loan amount will be used to secure 200 Day Old Chicks for the Christmas Season. The demand and market for chicken is very high during this period and thus will increase my profits. Since I have been able to expand my poultry house, I now have the opportunity to increase the bird size of my farm and meet the needs of my community.

200 day old chicks ($200)
50bags of feed ($300)
Medication and vaccination ($100)

    I'm facing a few cash flow challenges with my business due to a disease outbreak on the farm. I will need a couple of weeks to be able to resolve challenges.

    I still have cash flow challenges with my business sales due to the bird flu outbreak. I will therefore need some time to be able to raise some money to pay back my loan.
