    I will purchase material for tailoring and dressmaking functions. This i hope will attract my customers and thus increase their number hence more sales and income. This time the sales are low as most of customers are for planting our stable food maize though challenges of fall army worm, despite this many more challenges we continue to plant and minus maize our meal is complete.
