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

    Dear lenders,
    I am the VM for Erick.
    I have reached him and found out that he has been in a remote area where he could not access the Mpesa platform. However, he will begin repaying his loan in the next 24 hours. He has apologized for the delay in repaying his loan and assured me of his commitment to repay fully.
