About Me

Am Francis Kinuthia Mbugua , i was born in 1985 in Nakuru county in the rift valley region part of kenya .
Being the last born of five and a father to my two sons, i joined my primary education in 1990 and later lone i joined my secondary in 1998 and the year 2002 i completed my 'o' level education .
There after while i was just at home my parents supported me with small amount of money to start an agri- business and because in my home are farming wasn't that good i shifted to Nairobi kahawa west where am doing to the best of my level with horticulture.
The area is so productive and thus makes me to have a profitable supply of my products . My children's usually say they can be happy to be pilots to pass through the air in their times. when am free i like swimming as my hobby that's make ma feel good.

My Business

My agri-business which include cabbages, carrots ,tomatoes and kales and well as other green vegetables serves a big area where i live because am just alone with that commodity while others are on others such as maize ,beans and others that take longer period to grow that mine.
I preferred for these product because they take shorter period to mature and their income is good other that the one which take longer period to mature,.
On monthly basis i make a profit of 155.6 US dollars which is good enough to meet my domestic uses and also to cater for my family

Loan Proposal

If i will get this amount of money i have plans to by some seeds for the preparation of planting as it is the time to do so which will be amounting 22.3 US dollar and fertilizers for the same process of planting amounting to 16.7 US dollars preparation of the area ,the garden its self through the plough which will cost me 50 US dollars . This will allow me to have enough and convenient time in planting in time. After planting this big area i expect to have a good production than the other months due to increase of the area whereby i expect to have an amount of 288.9 US dollars more that what i have been getting in the other productions .
