Am a Kenyan, Civil Engineer by profession and currently working with the Government of Kenya. Am also a farmer particularly engaged in agribusiness with focus on horticulture.
I do horticultural farming, mainly producing fresh vegetables for local and export market. I have a contract with an Export company to supply French beans throughout the year . I do local vegetables on rotational basis; these are sold at the city of Nairobi. Currently am farming on a 20 acre piece of land under furrow irrigation in Narok County. Am planning to expand and also venture into fruits for exports.
In Kenya, the peak season for harvesting French Beans is from January to June. As such, am seeking to plant as much as possible at the moment (November/December) in order to have so much to supply during the said peak time. From this loan, I intend to purchase a second bag of seeds, having planted the first one last week. A bag of seeds costs USD 220 thus need for this loan. Your assistance is highly appreciated, regards, Joseph.
