About Me

My name is Shaddrack Kibet. I am 32 years old married and blessed with two children. I reside with family in Siriat village of Bomet county.
I am a farmer by profession and have taken various short term courses to improve my skills in the agriculture industry.
I spend my free time with my family watching local television programmes, movies and sports

My Business

I am a full time farmer and specialize mostly in crop production. I plant mostly fast maturing crops such as beans, soya, peas and leafy vegetables such as kales and cabbages. Farming though I started with challenges have been great for me.
It has sustained my family for the last over 5 years and would only like to expand.

Loan Proposal

Hello lenders
I am currently specializing on soya bean production. I have two acres in the field that is about 6 weeks old. It's market is good with a good demand from a local plant doing value addition on soya.
I would like to start foliar spray to increase pod potential but I have not saved enough.
I therefore plan to use the $100 loan on purchasing 8 galans of foliar feed to be sprayed at 2 gal/acre twice this season.
Each galan will cost KES 1100 ($12)
I plan to repay the loan within the next two months using sales from kales that are due to mature this month.
The net revenue from soya sales will go to other farm investments.
Thank you.
