Loan Proposal

This Agribusiness Plan is an initiative of young, flexible, talented and open minded Kenyan Youths who have joined hands to take up farming in a large-scale business operation in production, processing, and distribution of agricultural products. Low cereal productivity is a major contributor to food and nutritional insecurity and low household incomes; hence, extreme poverty and environmental degradation. The high costs of machinery and farm operations, agricultural inputs and labour; and high incidences of pests and diseases, are major causes of low and declining yields. Besides, post-harvest produce losses due to poor storage at household and community levels pose a major challenge to food safety resulting in increased food and nutrition insecurity. Inadequate post-harvest handling facilities lead to spoilage and price instability.
Our objective is to increase food productivity, enhance livelihoods and facilitate transformation of the agricultural sector; by turning crops and livestock production into commercially oriented economic activities, for food and nutrition security, increased household incomes and employment creation, while utilizing the natural resources optimally and preserving biodiversity.
Our goal is to enhance generation, dissemination and utilization of client-driven crops and livestock technologies; knowledge and information for promoting increased agricultural productivity; improved post harvest handling; value addition; agri-business and private sector involvement. The ultimate purpose being to address critical value chain constraints; thereby, spur improvement of rural livelihoods and economic growth within Kisumu County.
We have a parcel of land in Ahero that we seek financial aid to develop. It is a 2 acre piece of land in a prime location, 8Km from Kisumu city. We have a title deed, its fenced, with Electricity and a borehole on sight. Our business operation Scope aims to outline that our activities have:
(a) Realistically attainable outputs.
(b) Ability of proposed activities to deliver the outputs and attain the goal.
(c) Technology dissemination and uptake promotion pathways.
(d) Potential for up-scaling and out-scaling the outputs.
(e) Sustainable mechanisms for exploitation of Project outputs

We will use the bulk of the loan to buy equipment for putting up greenhouses since we have a plan to cultivate tomatoes, fruits(Passion, avocado, pawpaw), mushrooms(seeds and cultivation), french beans, Chillies, Onions and rear dairy cows(2) and poultry (broilers and layers).
