Seeds and fertilizer for my watermelon farming

About Me

I was born, raised, and schooled in Busia County by my grandmother because I was born when my mother was in high school. And when I was 7 years old, my mother died of AIDs and I was left with my grandmother, and my uncles are the ones who paid my fees. Growing up an orphan is the worst life in this world. Luckily enough, I have a certificate in Agricultural Production. I decided to venture into agriculture after college in Muhoroni, where I currently stay. My dream for the future is to have a tractor and a maize sheller for my farm, and to help other farmers, too.

My Business

I plant watermelon, maize and other vegetables, tomatoes, beans, and I also do some poultry farming. After college, I was not able to find a job, so I decided to start farming because I had the skills to earn a living doing this. Farming is good, but we have many challenges. The main one is lack of enough capital to get machinery and farming input (seeds, fertilizer, etc.). I want to have my own tractor and a maize sheller. I make profits of between $170-$220 per month. I use the profits to expand my farming business, and the rest I use to cater for my family needs.
