My name is Francis Maina Gichuru,being the first born in our family of three siblings,i have gone through the primary and Secondary School Education ,i was brought up in Farming area of of Kitale where my father has practised farming for so many years ,this is what motivated me to love farming because my father took as the ladder of education from whta he harvested from the farm and sold it,
Aftre secondary education i joined the Eldoret Polytechnic to study Agricultural officer and after three years i graduated with Diploma on the same ,i was lucky and get a job with Ministry of Agriculture in Kitale .
On 2014 i was moved to Sotik where i am until now but resigned to concentrate with farming fully.
On 2014 in month of February that is when i moved to Sotik,on the line of duty as an Agricultural officer with the Ministry i was lucky to have a farm about 1 Acre where i started my farming.I started by planting Kales and cabbages and later i did maize. I choose this line of business because i loved farming because i am the product of farming from my parents where they used the money they got from the produce to educate me.Mostly here in Sotik most people relay mostly on Dairy Farming ,and i choose to take a different line of farming ,and i do the French Peens farming.
The typical cost upto now that i have invested is around 800USD and still going on to improving my system of farming,the profits that i get i use them in savings ,upkeep of my life and payment of my bills and improving my skills by acquiring materials that entails mostly on farming.
This loan i will use to buy Organic Fertilizer for the French beans farming ,this product is good for any kind of farming ,the cost of this product is 20kg sack is 42USD *9=378 USD .This will be of great help to me because the produce will be of good grade and the profit will be good,this profit will be used to improve the farming system to my farm by doing more savings to achieve the goal ,cater for my upkeep ,and it will also help me to pay for my loan ,Thank in advance and welcome
