About Me

I am Ankamah Emmanuel and my parents are Mr. & Mrs. Ankamah Oduro . We all live in Donfete which is located at Berekum. I began my elementary school at Berekum AKAB school complex and furthered to Kumasi Prempeh College.
After completing that, life wasn't easy for me for the reason that I stayed in Kumasi with a brother of mine who was then a plantain farmer to learn farming practically.
Today, I among the big young farmers in this locality. Maize and plantains are the crops I mostly grow. My hobby is reading. Thank you!

My Business

My business is one that grows plantains and maize. In the beginning, I was able to raise 32 bags of maize half a year. I am excited in this business because many are the incentives which include the good profits and the security in agriculture. I have a contract with some schools' headmasters, some markets' women who always come for goods during harvesting. Currently, I have just harvested about 6 acres of maize of which I have regrown another on the same land. Having sat down to analyze things,I have to employ a potential youth to help me in the filed. I am seeking a way forward to add more acres to the farm size so as to serve my country. Thank you.

Loan Proposal

I am very thankful to the team of Zidisha and their generous lenders for granting me another opportunity to raise loan to support my business. All i can say is that may God bless you all for the wonderful support . With my previous loan, i was able to buy some agrochemicals and 5 splaying machines which has help my business to grow, but honestly speaking i wasn't able to purchased all the needed goods at that moment because,it was my first loan and for that matter i couldn't raise much. But at the same time i got a profit about 45% of what i received that really help me to repay my loan back on time. For this my current loan, i will buy another fertilizers but this time not 7 bags but rather 12 bags, 20 boxes each of other agrochemicals ( pesticides and wedicides) this will help me to supply my Customers, Community and my Country the needed resources or food, all this product needed may cost about $450, It will help me a lot in my activities. Thank you!

    Emmanuel paid off his loan perfectly, I would gladly lend to him again and encourage others to do the same.
