I decided to go self employment due to current joblessness in the country. My sources of income include farming:Dairy farming and horticulture farming(tomatoes,cabage,kales)

My Business

wholesale and retail animal feeds.i am a wholesale n retail business man with a business running for over 5 years.I sell commercial animal feeds eg. dairy meal, pollard, chicken feeds for broilers and layers as well as kienyeji feeds. This also includes sow and weaner for pigs, pellets for rabbits and fish meal I also sell A large variety of farm chemicals farm chemicals like herbicides, pesticides. Other products include seeds for planting eg. carrots, kales, dania,maize.cabbage.
I also engage in animal farming rearing two dairy cattle with an average production of A combined 10litres. I plan to sell them in the near future and buy one pedigree fresian cow with better milk production.On A section of my farm, I have planted nappier grass to help in feeding my cattle. On my two acre piece of land, I have planted also potatoes, maize, beans, and A section for commercial horticulture farming, which includes tomatoes, cabbage and kales. My plans for the new year's to open new branches for the animal feeds business since it has been growing well. Of importance to also note about me is that am A university graduate with A bachelors degree in business management. I found myself lean g towards self employment due to current joblessness in the country

Loan Proposal

I have a few chicken, that is about thirty both broilers and layers. The aim of the loan is to help me expand and buy more chicks as much as the loan could afford. This will be mainly broiler chicken which Will need about two months for me to start selling them. Hope you assist me.

Income Source

I have multiple sources of income, so I will not be relying on the chicken project itself. For example i also have a dairy cow which I milk and sell milk daily.Besides that i also have a few chicken laying eggs because what I want Is to expand
