My hobbies are reading, swimming and watching football.

My Business

The name of my agro chemical shop is "ADOM ARA KWA AGRO CHEMICALS" which literally mean The Grace of God. It is located at Atebubu along the Atebubu-Kumasi main road. I started the business about 4 years ago. When I stared, I use to sell the products on Tuesdays which is the market day of Atebubu. I started this way because I have no shop to keep the products so I do keep them in the house then on Tuesdays I bring them to the market to sell. Gradually, I managed to get small metal container in which I now keep the products and sell them everyday. I sell agro chemical products like fertilizers,pesticides weedicides etc. I have employed two workers who have been helping me always at the shop. I live in a farming community so my products go on well for me. I was able to get profit ranging from $45 to $70 every week. Which assist me cater for my family. My prime aim is to expand the business so that I can employ more people to reduce the unemployment rate in my country.
