About Me

I has been farming vegetables, chilies specifically since 2015. My first venture into chili production was in the north region (Kumbungu) for 3 years and moved to the Bono east region specifically Pamdu in the Kintampo south district and then to Zambrama in the Pru West district of the region to continue the cultivation of various crops with the inclusion of Chilis, Scotch bonnet and Green pepper. I have been processing them and sending to factories down south that further process into packages and packets for retail and export. I have worked and continues to work with small holder farmers either through aggregation of dried pepper in the northern region and creating a mini out grower scheme with them in Bono east region. My five year experience in the cultivation and aggregation of chili across the value chain as well as my insight into the terrain and the impact it has had and it can have on the livelihoods of farmers puts me in the best position to effectively execute this project. I have directly through production and through engagement with smallholder farmers produced, aggregated and supplies hundreds of tons of chili pepper to clients .

My Business

My business , grow it green farms has been producing chili pepper for my clients in the processing industries , they convert my dried produce into powdered pepper and the fresh ones into pepper purée . Currently our monthly order exceeds our current production capabilities. This loan will help us acquire irrigation facilities to help us overcome the uncertainties of our current climate .

Loan Proposal

This loan immediately will go towards the acquisition of farming inputs, specifically fertiliser in preparation for the coming planting season and crop production cycle. The goal is to increase credit worthiness to be eventually able to expand our farm and get drying equipment for our chilis .

Income Source

Even during a pandemic , people need to eat, now so more than ever , so besides the financial challenges in acquiring funding for investment into production during this period because of economic challenges, there is an all so vibrant market ready for the produce we cultivate .
