My Business

I have a shop at the centre where i sell a variety of items. The profit margin per item is low but at the end of the day, i sell many items and make a lot of profit. I make about ksh 25000 per month from the shop. I also do dairy farming which produce milk for the family while the extra is sold. I sell about 4 litres of milk per day at ksh 30 per litre. I also farm maize, beans, potatoes and other greens for the family. I sell the much that is not used by the family. I usually make about ksh 30000 per season of maize. Beans are usually planted twice per year and the price of beans fluctuate depending the season.
