I am a young graduate who started my education at Jinijini Presby school. After my Junior secondary school, I went to Techiman Secondary school in the B/A region.
from secondary I came to Accra to continue my education at central university college. After national service I decided to start my own business.
I am into packaging tombrown, and brown rice in Ghana. after my national service I decided not to work for anybody but to start this business. it was very very hard for me. because I was not have any capital to start. at the same time I decided to marry my wife. I got married to my wife and who was also a graduate from university of Ghana. we start the brown rice packaging from our single room apartment. it wasn't easy at all, the challenges was massive, and we couldn't know what to do next. These Challenges was financial, we needed packaging machines. we tried a lot of financial institution in Accra for a loan to buy some of these machines but to no avail. I still need good finishing for my product so that I can export them to other countries. I will need about $20,000 to buy these machines to package my product so that I can meet international standards.
We are going to print hand bills, for supermarket to share to their clientele. So that the product information will go out there. Again we have started our major below the line activations at the market places and the money is going to help.
