About Me

My name is Francis Mike Eshun. Am 34 years, married with 3 children, Marshall, Emmanuel and Jonathan. I hold Master of Education (Science) Degree and work as Technical Officer (Extension) with Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD). Before joining COCOBOD, I was teaching at Prestea Senior High Technical School, with Ghana Education Service.

Farming is a passion, I have acquired a land in my current station, Nkonya Wurupong in Hohoe-Kpeve District to venture into farming in addition to my work.

My biggest aim is to help feed Africa through Agriculture, and in future hope to expand the farm. Cocoa, Plantain, Cabbage, Tomato, Economic Trees are what I grow.

My Business

My current business in farming. Plantain, Cocoa, Economic Trees, Cabbages and Tomato.

I dream of helping feed Africa. I am doing so well, but my difficulty is financing the project, especially the cabbage, with irrigation to ensure I produce cabbage year round. In addition, hiring labour force, getting insecticides and regular control of weeds needs intensive capital injection.

Farming is a great venture to help end poverty and keep Africa out of hunger. As a African youth, I felt it urgent to help alleviate poverty of my family, grow to feed myself whiles making sure I get some to be able to feed the family and people all around as business. Over the past one year, I have grown plantain, cabbage, tomato and it has transformed my life and that of my family. For this reason, I intend to expand and make it A MODEL FARM in this area, Oti Region in Ghana, West Africa.
