About Me

I was raised by my grandparents and went to government school till secondary. I started farming in my grandma Shamba which she left me after she passed on. I plant maize and beans in the 2 acre piece of land. I love farming and cooking. My children are too young to know what they want to be. Meru land is very fertile.

My Business

i plan on starting a business of selling farm products. i have access to farmers so i will buy farm produce from them and sell to hotels and customers. right now i plan on starting with onions since they are readily available at a cheap prize of Kshs. 40 per kilogram and resell at Kshs. 70.

Loan Proposal

I will install water into my firm which will cost around 300$ buy red creole onion seedlings at 500$ this are the best for production of ideally 17 tons. This will make at least 8500$ KS from the harvest.the cost of planting the one hectare is around 100 $.This will take five months from planting to harvesting.
