My Business

Most of the farmers here grow maize beans. We started as a group of five people in 2009 where we decided to specialize in horticulture products and Tomatoes in particular. We formed a group where we were able to plant half an acre of tomatoes but did not do well during that times because the supply in the market was high than the demand. We decided that we would plant out tomatoes in such a time that by the time they are ready for market, there would be no supply at that time so we decided to be doing that during the sunny season when other farmers are preparing their farm for maize plantation. By doing so we were able to raise money and bought a money maker pump which was very tiresome because one person had to pump using his/her leg and the others would water the plantation. By doing so we were able to harvest the tomatoes in good time and were able to get a good profit margin here we divided among ourselves. Present I have a plan to plant one acre of tomatoes which I will divide into four seasons. I have already laid down the nursery for season one and in three weeks time it will be ready for planting.

Loan Proposal

Now that the first loan helped me to build a water tank, i will use the money lend to roof the tank and buy water pipes that will come from the river to the tank so as to fill the tank will water for irrigation. I have thought on how i will get the water even if it will cost me such that the water will flow on gravity instead of using a petrol pump machine, the water can flow on gravity hence no extra cost on petrol after the success of the plan.
