About Me

I lived in Labone Accras a child. I attended various schools . And got a diploma in Business and Finance. Focus and determination was my key . I had interest to become a businessman ,I traded for some years in the family business. Certain factors made trading in goods and commodities very difficult. I saw potential in Agriculture after a friend involved in farming convinced me of its benefits.
Ghana is a real opportunity to thrive in all sectors of business. My oldest girl (10yrs) wants to be a doctor .My son(4yrs) a pilot and my youngest daughter (2yrs) an actress.For recreation I am involved in rugby. Currently I am a board memberfor the Greater Accra Rubgy Association. I also played/coached a club called Accra Sharks but since this year is no more active.

My Business

I run a small scale farm at Prampram. I discovered Biodynamic agriculture . And I came to a higher understanding of a much more productive method of agriculture. I decided I would no longer use chemicals in crop production.
Ghana has a very large market in its food requirements. Producing only about half its needs in vegetables, fruit and livestock. I wanted to produce a very high standard and quality of vegetable and livestock. At the same time being beneficial to my environment. And hopefully to network with other farmers to follow my methods.
Costs always go towards seeds depending on crop. Hiring tractor and contract workers to prepare land, clearing , weeding etc. Transportation to market. Revenue can reach 40-50% depending on crop and time of year.
Profits are mainly for reinvesting and expansion at this stage.

Loan Proposal

Hi lenders I will use my loan to purchase More seeds for planting. Sweet melon and white cucumber. They are not common on the market and are highly sort by consumers. And relatively short growth times compared to other crops.
