About Me

I am kyere Ronald.I started schooling at AKAB Complex School, continued at Berekum secondary school, completed and continued at tertiary Stage.
I am working as a sole proprietorship as farmer. I entered into farming in the year 2013 with some capital of about $500 with two workers who are being paid monthly.

My Business

NURSERY OF COCOA SEEDS
When finished second cycle, I was gingered to farm. looking at my community I opt for nursery of cocoa seeds simply because, majority of people living in these area are cocoa growers. They have rich lands for agriculture .Many of them choose to grow cocoa. I use that opportunity to start to cocoa seeds nursery. Few people were doing that and during the farming season cocoa seedlings become scarce. I was able to produce 3000 cocoa seedlings in my first year.surprisely; people were chasing me for it. Now, I am able to produce 300000 cocoa seedlings throughout the year.Some of the challenges associated with the cocoa nursery include; ordering of the cocoa seeds, nursery site/space/shade, potting/polybag filling, planting seed, watering, and pest and diseases control.

THANKS TO LENDERS.
I give thanks to all the Zidisha lending groups and the individual lenders who made my dream came into reality.
May God bless and fill all their sources of income so that they may get some to finance the needy ones like me.

Loan Proposal

I thank all my lenders for how far they have bought me. In fact, I am very sincere about their support and counseling they have given to me during my repayment schedules. The loan they gave me yields $ 540 as profit. I have used some of them ($350) to cater for my family and my two orphans who are in school.
My customers this year have approached me to prepare seventy thousand cocoa seedlings for them to buy. After calculations,I can see to its that money in my possession can't afford the project. I am Herr to raise a loan to embark this project. I hope if lenders helped me with this project,I am sure I can bag a huge some of profit (roughly $1200 after deduction)
These are the items I will buy with the money:
80,000 Cocoa seedlings (400)
5 bags of fertilizer ($100)
2 boxes of poison to check pests and diseases($110)
90,000 sachets rubbers for bagging of soil (350)
3 spraying machines for watering ($150)
6 workers to assist me for three months period ( $600)
If lenders help me to prepare this seedlings, I will be in a better profit ($1200) after all my spendings.
Thank you!

    Ronald,
    you confirmed back in Oct 2018 that you received the loan and bought all the items you needed. However, since then, you have not made any repayments (you have missed initial 11 payments by now) and nor have you provided any updates here. Lenders understand that there can be difficulties in a project. But they expect to be kept informed about it. Can you let us know where things are with your project?

    I have bought all the items for the project. I thank my lenders very much

    Hello Ronald,
    wish you all the best in your cocoa seedlings business. Looks like your loan will be fulfilled completely soon and you can get started!

    Am curious about one thing. You have indicated in your loan proposal that you will buy "80,000 Cocoa seedlings (400)". So you yourself buy such seedlings, grow them in a little more mature plants and then sell them to your customers?

    • Ronald    Oct 13, 2018

      Exactly so. Here,there are different types of cocoa hybrids. So I am supposed to go to the farmers and select the germinated ones and do the nursery .

        Interesting. If you easily can, please share pictures of a seedling as you grow it. This is something entirely new for me! All the best.
