My Business

My business is farming
By conducting a market survey I decided to start the business of mixed farming after realize there is a ready market for this product, my business includes cattle farming, chicken rearing and vegetable, beans and maize. The businesses capture 80 percent of the market share, also the business is expected to continuous to grow due to the ready market of the product. The business is located in a strategic position because the mean of transport is available and the climate is favorable They is a lot of demand of the product such as milk, because the milk is taken by the Brookside company dairy, and also so many people here rely on this variety.
Most of the farmer in Tangi Tano have remain with indigenous cattle thus making me being the most of the few one who will produce much milk. The business will be profitable because most of the feed a get from my farm. The risk facing the business is poor road during the rainy season which hinders the transportation of the milk and farm products. The goal of the business will be get profit, create employment and to satisfy the customer needs, the business fall under agriculture industry which has been growing very fast for past few years and it is expecting to have a bright future in term of modern farming. My vision about my business is expand from small farming to large scale farming whereby most of the farmers have been in large scale farming i.e wheat, thus giving motivation to practice the type of farming. My typical monthly cost is khs 40000, sale revenue is around ksh 20000 and profit is above 15000 but I am planning to earning more from the business.
