About Me

My full names are Shadrick Mzaduri the first born of four children . Growing up, my life was a little tricky because we barely had everything we needed as a family. We had to go through a lot of struggles cause my father was just a miner and working in the mine back then was not as much.
My father was very hard worker, he got up everyday early in the morning and first went to the farm to do work just so he can supply the marketeers with farm produce as he is on hes way to work. When i was in grade 6 he passed away leaving behind only mum to fend for us. i would say this was the time life really got hard for us because mum barely knew ways of raising money. I dropped put of school in grade 10 because there was no money for school.
I started growing my veggies and started supplying the marketeers at the local market just like my father used to. id supply then with chinese cabbage, spinach, okra, onions and tomatoes. This is how i started my farming business.

My Business

Selling a variety of veggies did not bring in so much income, so i then decided to specialise in growing tomatoes only. the main reason was because tomatoes around my area is in demand and most farmers do not grow tomatoes.
so on my piece of land, i strictly just started growing tomatoes on a large scale and started taking my supplies in the city for sale. this then brought in some income and atleast i can say that i started making things and started taking care of my siblings including my poor mum who has struggled to raise us up to this age. mostly i pick about 7 boxes of tomatoes and sale then at about 150 to 200 in the city.

Loan Proposal

In the past few weeks, my business has seen growth because with the last loan, I purchased a lot of chemicals that are right to use for tomatoe farming. My last sales made so many customers happy with my produce as my tomatoes were all fat red.
With this loan, I wish to purchase more land for me to be able to get more plant more tomatoes

Income Source

I have enough money in my account for me to repay my loan and so many business offers and many restaurants too rely on my supply for their businesses to operate. Other than that I recently ordered for some cosmetics and also skin care products for man like bump control which reduces the the pimples on a man's face after shaving off their beards
