About Me
My name is Ojiambo, I have been in farming business since i was 12. My mother taught me how to do subsistence farming from a tender age. When i grew, I kept learning from my elders as well as from teachers. With time , i developed interest in farming and started working out how to achieve the best from it. i have been working hard so as to achiev the best from my farming skills but in vain. The main reason has been limited resources which restricted me to subsistence farming. learning that Zidisha was around through its lenders to help was a relief. I hope that i can now start serious farming.
My Business
My business deals with food crop farming. in most cases, I farm food crops such as maize, millet, sorghum and cassava. However, i have been doing it in as small scale capacity. Zidisha would be helpful through its lenders in enabling me expand my farming system. Moreover, i would be able to increase the size o f land for farming. I usually lease land for farming, i am hoping that with expected future prospects, i will begin to buy my own land for farming.
Loan Proposal
I have been doing subsistence farming for over a decade. However, it has not profited me apart from providing me with food. A loan from Zidisha would enable me to go into commercial farming in which i want to venture into to improve my earnings. i am hoping that Zidisha would enable me to achieve my long treasured dream of becoming a real farmer with a huge commercial base, thanks.
