About Me

I am kyere Ronald.I started schooling at AKAB Complex School, continued at Berekum secondary school, completed and continued at tertiary Stage.
I am working as a sole proprietorship as farmer. I entered into farming in the year 2013 with some capital of about $500 with two workers who are being paid monthly.

My Business

NURSERY OF COCOA SEEDS
When finished second cycle, I was gingered to farm. looking at my community I opt for nursery of cocoa seeds simply because, majority of people living in these area are cocoa growers. They have rich lands for agriculture .Many of them choose to grow cocoa. I use that opportunity to start to cocoa seeds nursery. Few people were doing that and during the farming season cocoa seedlings become scarce. I was able to produce 3000 cocoa seedlings in my first year.surprisely; people were chasing me for it. Now, I am able to produce 300000 cocoa seedlings throughout the year.Some of the challenges associated with the cocoa nursery include; ordering of the cocoa seeds, nursery site/space/shade, potting/polybag filling, planting seed, watering, and pest and diseases control.

THANKS TO LENDERS.
I give thanks to all the Zidisha lending groups and the individual lenders who made my dream came into reality.
May God bless and fill all their sources of income so that they may get some to finance the needy ones like me.

Loan Proposal

I have been asked by my customers to prepare additional cocoa seedlings for them to buy since we are in the beginning of raining season.

Cocoa seeds(150 dollars),Agricultural Extension worker to monitor the seedlings from diseases attack(100 dollars),rubber bag(100 dollars), pump machine(200 dollars), workers to assist me(150 dollars),site for the project(200 dollars)

HOW TO REPAY THE LOAN

    My cousin paid 382 from his account for me and Zidisha refused to credit my account and reversed it to the wrong person. Get in touch with me pls Ronald.

    Ronald,
    you confirmed back in Oct 2018 that you received the loan and bought all the items you needed. However, since then, you have not made any repayments (you have missed initial 11 payments by now) and nor have you provided any updates here. Lenders understand that there can be difficulties in a project. But they expect to be kept informed about it. Can you let us know where things are with your project?

    I have bought all the items for the project. I thank my lenders very much

    Hello Ronald,
    wish you all the best in your cocoa seedlings business. Looks like your loan will be fulfilled completely soon and you can get started!

    Am curious about one thing. You have indicated in your loan proposal that you will buy "80,000 Cocoa seedlings (400)". So you yourself buy such seedlings, grow them in a little more mature plants and then sell them to your customers?

    • Ronald    Oct 13, 2018

      Exactly so. Here,there are different types of cocoa hybrids. So I am supposed to go to the farmers and select the germinated ones and do the nursery .

        Interesting. If you easily can, please share pictures of a seedling as you grow it. This is something entirely new for me! All the best.
