Am kenyan citizen born in a small village called Kipkelat, in Mogor sub location ,Chebunyo Ward..Bomet county. I grew up in a farming background where my parents are good in dairy farming !
I had a never- dying dream of becoming a dairy farmer like my parents and i have had a promising attitude of achieving the same .
After my education i was able to put up some saving and started with one dairy cow which has given me hope for the future. the unique culture is the believe that my community has the cows as their main business but i challenge this by bringing in the dairy breed which can be kept in a small piece of land.
I have been telling and taking my child through the needs of being a good dairy farmer as his other income after finishing his education.
My part time hobby is ensuring my dairy cows are well fed, milked and watching documentaries about successful dairy farmers . Playing football and visiting the needy
My Business Mainly is Milk Production ,, But after the past Loan . i acquired a Car which i now use to deliver My Milk Produce to the nearest Dairy plant at a cheaper cost and also charge a fee of 0.05$ per to transport my neighbours produce . translating to 0.05$*90(From Farmers)= 4.5 $ per day *25days=112.5$ for transport Only .
Milk is used Mainly for Domestic purposes hence making it the most demanded Product in the Market.. I chose it because its implementation is naturally acceptable and easy.. As at Now am able to get 50 litres of Milk per day ie
50Ltrs*0.4$/lt=20$
20$*25days=500$+112.5$ (from Transport Business)
=612.5$
I use the profit to pay for Two kids School fees, Buy dairy meal and Purchase High Standard AI for my dairy cows so as to Get High Quality Breed.
Then i will have to employ more workers to add on the Two i have Now hence helping the society at large.
I will increase the Number of Dairy Cows to 6
ie 2 * 200$=400 $
This will enable me achieve a target of supplying Extra milk at an increased ratio ie
30*0.45$=13.5$
13.5$*25 days= 337.5$
this is a good projection when i get assistance from Zidisha
