About Me

I AM SAKALA SANDRAM AN AGRICULTURIST. I PLANT VEGETABLES AND MORINGA TREES. I STARTED FARMING AT A TENDER AGE AS I NEEDED TO RAISE MONEY FOR MY SCHOOL FEES SINCE MY PARENTS DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TO TAKE ME TO SCHOOL. EACH TIME I HARVESTED I WOULD SELL AND LEAVE SOME TO CONSUME AT HOME. PEOPLE IN MY COUNTRY ARE VERY LOVING AND THEY LIKE TO EXPLORE NEW IDEAS A LOT. MY CHILDREN WANT TO BE DOCTORS WHEN THEY GROW UP. MY HOBBY OR PAST TIME ACTIVITY IS FARMING ITSELF. I AM MOSTLY FOUND IN THE FARM FIELD EACH TIME I AM FREE.

My Business

THE BUSINESS I AM DOING IS SELLING OF FARM PRODUCE MOSTLY VEGETABLES. I AM ALSO INTO MORINGA TREE GROWING AND I WOULD LIKE TO NOW TAKE IT UP ON A LARGER SCALE. MORINGA IS SO MUCH ON DEMAND IN MY COUNTRY AND WORLD WIDE BECAUSE OF ITS MEDICINAL PROPERTIES HENCE MY INTEREST IN TAKING IT UP ON A LARGE SCALE. MY TYPICAL COSTS ARE VARIABLE COSTS AS WELL AS A FEW FIXED COSTS. I PAY FOR TRANSPORT AS WELL AS MY WORKERS THAT ARE ASSISTING ME IN THE FARMS. I ALSO SPEND ON COMMUNICATION COSTS.... I MOSTLY USE MY PROFITS FOR REINVESTMENT AND MY CHILDREN'S SCHOOL FEES. AND OTHER HOME IMPROVEMENTS.

Loan Proposal

I WANT TO BUY SOME FERTILIZER, SALARY PAYMENT OF WORKERS, CATER FOR TRANSPORT, FOOD, TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT TO BE USED AT THE FARM, PURCHASING OF WORKER'S ATTIRE AT THE FARM WHICH THEY WILL USE IN THE FARMING FIELD.
