Loan Proposal

I will use to buy the following items:
Fertilizer; 3 bags each cost $ 1.2 thus increases productivity of potatoes per hectares and increases nutrients
Pesticides; 3kgs each cost $ 1, used to control early and later blight which affect potatoes by burning it leaves which later drys off leaving only the stalk thus nothing to harvest.
