About Me

I am a dairy farmer with a herd of 4cows 2 pregnant cows and two heifers practicing my farming in tharaka nithi county I also have a coffee plantation with 300 bushes of coffee which I shell the coffee beans on my farm and sell coffee beans to a coffee shop to roast and sell the coffee to their ready customers

My Business

I earn approximately 20000 from my daily farm and the rest from my employment.now that my daily cattle are pregnant it necessiates that I borrow a loan to buy dry fodder and dairy feeds before my first cow calves in November 19th I am also buying Coffee from my neighbors at 70 shillings per kg of red cherry and shell them to produce coffee beans which 5 KGS of red cherry produces 1kg of coffee beans and sell the beans at 700 per kg

Project Proposal

I plan to use some part of the amount of money to buy coffee cherries and buy a sack of daily feeds for my daily cows in preparation for calving of my cows.once the project is fully funded I can even repay the full money as a single investment as I will be able to sell the coffee and once the daily cows have calved my income flow will be increased to be able to provide return to the community
