Loan Proposal

Globally, the wastage of fresh vegetables and fruits is huge. Generally, food crop growing countries hold the maximum share in the wastage for fresh foods. Cold Storages are essential for extending the shelf life, period of marketing, avoiding glut, post-harvest losses reducing transport bottlenecks during the peak period of production and maintenance of quality of the product.

Besides, cold storages have an important role in reducing the wastages of perishable commodities. In addition, it helps in providing remunerative prices to the growers and to make available farm products to the consumers at competitive and affordable prices.

I am looking for funds to buy refrigerator to add to my foodstuff business.

I am counting on you lenders.

My target is: Gh¢ 30,000.00

Thank you!
