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
