i was born in kitale the most well known county for agriculture activities for both cash and domestic production.since my parents were farmers i had that passion to start my own agribusiness since i learn more skills fro them and gained more knowledge.after high school i started small scale farming with vegetables and later started to grow tea leave seedlings which i sold them to farmers and got a good profit that helped me to plant a 1 acre farm of tea that i inherited from my father.i like reading novels and watching movies.
i am a farmer where i grow vegetables and tea and tea seedlings which i sell to other farmers.i chose this agribusiness since i had learn a lot from my parents,school and on field day that i frequently attended.as most people in my area are farmers,i decided to invest in this business so that i can supply for them and make good earnings.i sell one seedling at $0.07 and i a can sell more than 1500 per week.which is a good profit to make considering i do not have to pay for many bills and rents but i can comfortably pay for my children school fees and make home improvements.
i have more than 6000 seedling in my bed nursery that require fertilizer for top dressing so that to improve it quality and grow fast on time before the oncoming rains so that more farmer can buy them.this will make me use my loan to buy fertilizer for $10 which will be about 30kg.this will make my seedling to grow well and on time.
