I am am currently involved in self employment(agribusiness).I grow and sell vegetables which include kales,capsicum,and pepper.Business is my main source of income.I have also begun livestock business(piggery) .

I like playing soccer during my leisure

My Business

My weekly average sales in vegetables -$300.I sell my products to schools and to suppliers in kakamega town.There is little competition since i offer the best products.
Demand for vegetable products is high in this region since many farmers only grow vegetables for domestic use and not commercial.
Risks encountered include:weather changes and perish-ability.

Loan Proposal

I will buy 30kg of DAP-$18,30kg CAN-$18.DAP and CAN fertilizer will enable healthy and fast maturity of my products which will lead to satisfaction of demand.There will be timely delivery of my products.I will also expand my farm through additional vegetable growing due to enough fertilizer.As a result of expansion,my crops will also be attractive to my potential customers thus increasing my income and improving my livelihood

    I take this kind opportunity to say thanks to my lenders of the previous loan.Through the amount,i was able to increase my horticultural (kales) production leading to increased profits.I met 60% of the demand compared to the previous 20%. I was able to provide only two meals(breakfast and supper) for my family but now my family gets three meals in a day due to increment of my profits .Thanks to Zidisha.Am looking forward to cooperate with zidisha in order to continue benefiting from their online lending.Thanks zidisha and all partners.Live long
