After the death of my husband who was the soul bread winner in my family. i needed to take care of my young family but had no source of income. I opened a small shop in my village but it did not work,and so had to close it down. I turned to farming just growing vegetables and selling to my villager mates. it turned out to be a very viable business and so I decided to capitalize on the farming. with farming I have been able to pay school fees for my kids and take care of my families daily expenses comfortably

I am an upcoming farmer. I grow vegetables in my farm that I sell to my fellow villagers and the nearby local market.
these goods are important because people will consume vegetables always as part of their meal .
I choose to do farming after after my retail shop failed to pick up. I have so far noticed farming is very profitable compared to any other business.
