My Business

I am a farmer who sells maize to companies and local small food groceries in my community, I started this after completing campus and now 4 years on the business i have managed to secure potential customers and leased more plots for plantation so to be consistence with supplies.
I have taken interest in farming of maize and beans which demand are high especially during dry spells.
I harvest 25 to 28 bags of maize from an acre after 3 months and sell during high prices at a price of 1,200 ken ya shillings per bag reflecting a total of 33,600 ken-ya shillings from every acre, I now have 3 acres of land that i lease for plantation.
After deducting expenses i make a profit of 22,000 ken-ya shillings per acre and in a year i harvest twice.
I have a future in farming and will soon build a permanent house for my parents from the money i get from farming.
