My Business
am a potato farmer .i plant potatoes approved by agricultural extension officers .i don't worry much about the market because many buys the potatoes from us farmers.my costs is
fifty thousand.i reinvest the profits .i chose this kind of business because i don't have to worry about market since am in highway and near to chepseon market and many customers buys the potatoes from us.
Loan Proposal
When I get this loan,it will help me improve on my Potato project by adding Value in the following ways;,
1. Buying of cooking oil to prepare take away chips. 22dollars
2. Electric Machine for deep frying chips. 50 dollars
3.Renting a house for the business 20 dollars
4. Business Permit 15dolars
Despite the fact that I still need 5 dollars for the permit to be complete I believe that I can manage to get from other sources. Having been in the business for the past 2 years i have been longing to be adding value to the potatoes by making Chips, Potato crisps and all the potato products. with the fact that I have the raw materials. The returns will then help expand my farm by increasing the number of acreage and also employ a few people.
I should feel i should be supported because I can't afford single handedly to meet full financial requirements of the farm due to the increased costs of farm inputs like fertilizers, seeds and pesticides and insuring the crops.
