About Me

My name is Amanfo Bismarck, i started my primary school at jinijini presby schooI and I continue my secondary school education at jinijini secondary school and now have graduated from university cape coast Ghana, I need a loan to expand my business in farming, I am into cassava planting and also cash crop like cashew and oil palm plantation. I need a loan to expand my business. I want to employ laborers to assist me to expand my farm
It was not easy in the beginning, I started alone , doing the weeding and planting my self, no support from any where.
The unique thing about the community that am living is that they are all doing subsistent farming,and the land is for the people in the community and how to acquire the land is not difficult .
I will like my children and grandchildren to have better and quality education.
I was a table table Tanis player during my primary, secondary and tertiary education, am still a good table Tanis player, also I was a footballer during my primary education. I will be very happy if my application reach your kindness heart.

My Business

I provide raw cassava and also gari and starch for my costumers
Raw cassava is use for fufu and 90% of Ghanaians eat fufu and banku every day so the demand for cassava and maize is very high, it has ready market so if u invest in cassava and maize plantation,the probability of gaining is high.
The typical cost and revenue is as follows, weeding $20 for acre and planting $15 for acre.and acre can be sell at 100 to 120$ depending on the season
I will reinvest to make the business grow.
I also provide my customers with fresh and dried maize.

Loan Proposal

I will buy spraying machine, fertilizers and chemical to maintain my cocoa farm and the amount is 700$
If am able to apply good cultural practices, I will get more profit because when am able I can get more cocoa beans to sell.
I will get money to finish my housing project.
I will give my children good health care of of my children
I will get more than 100 percent because when the land is rich the plant will produce more fruits.
Thank

    Amanfo is having business challenges. I have advise him to adjust his repayment and at least pay something he can afford. He has accepted it .so he will come on board soon.

    Amanfo said farm products are about to mature. So in a jiffy time,he will repay all the amount due him. I have advice him to at least adjust the installment due him and pay what he can afford in order maintain the on time rate. He has accepted to do so.

    I use the loan to buy Agro chemicals like fertilizers, akate master and electronic sprayer to maintain my cocoa farm.
    I have now started harvesting but look at the condition of my farm, I will say it has help me alot. Am going to harvest more cocoa beans this year. And am going to get more profit.
    I will get profit of 100% if all things been equal.
    Am now going to buy land with my profit to start another cocoa farm.
    I will use some of my profit to hire labour to support my farm.
    Most of the people who have succeed in life in Brong ahafo are cocoa farmers so I want to be one of them.
    Christmas is the holiday season which almost every body in my area do cerebrate and cerebrate well, because is cocoa season during that time and most have sell their cocoa beans so money is common.
