Lease more land and buy certified cabbage seeds

About Me

I was born and raised in Kakamega county. My parents were staunch Christians who taught us to live a righteous life. I attended Kakamega primary school and thereafter Maaset secondary school. I was not a bright chap so I couldn't continue because of poor grades. I started helping my parents in the kitchen garden and primarily in the care of their vegetable farm. Seeing the good returns that the farm was generating, I decided to venture into it as an independent person. From a soft loan that my parents extended to me, I leased land and planted cabbages. That is what I have been doing ever since. In future i would want to own a lorry that will enable me to transport my produce to big cities where the prices are quite high.

My Business

My business entails planting of cabbages and selling them upon maturity. I ventured into this business over 4 years ago inspired by the returns that my family's farm was posting. My biggest challenge has been getting sufficient capital to expand my business to a larger scale. My customers are mainly hotels and restaurants around Kakamega town and in a monthi make profits of upto $ 200 which i use to cater for my family needs and save the rest. In future i want to own a lorry to facilitate me transport my produce to big cities.

Loan Proposal

Given the loan together with my savings, I will the money to lease more land and buy certified seeds at a cost of $230. More acreage under cabbage farming and certified seeds means more yield and thus more income. More income will translate to better standards of living to both myself and my family.
