Plant tomatoes for agribusiness

Entrepreneur

About Me

My name is John and I come from Kenya. I am the first born in a family of eight six boys and two girls. I did my Advanced level whereby I qualified to join the University. Later studied Philosophy and Theology which i passed with good honours and then got a job with the Child Welfare Society of Kenya. In this position i supported many orphans and vulnerable children thrive well with good care and protection. I am married and with six children all going to school and colleges. I love my family.
My hobbies are aerobics, jogging and hiking big mountains. I have done several hikes to almost all the big mountains in Kenya.

My Business

I have been jobless for some few years and therefore engaged myself in running a small shop for groceries, cereals and other general goods. It is able to provide food for the family but for educational needs I have to supplement with renting plots where I plant assorted plants such tomatoes, potatoes, peas and onions to sale to the market once they mature.
This way I am able to make some profit that I use to pay fees for my children's education. Any help or support to help realize this dream of educating all my children is well appreciated. Thank you.

Loan Proposal

I have done very well with the borrowed piece of land that I had planted the celery project. It was a success and i made 100% profit with which i want to plant tomatoes for the next season and avoid planting same genetic plants on the same land.
I will buy the tomato seeds, prepare the nurseries, connect proper water drainage for irrigation, purchase pesticides in readiness for the good harvesting of tomatoes.
The tomato market is ever ready and with good planning and the dry spell that we are going through my tomatoes will be ready for marketing in the next two months.
I expect to make at least 80% or more in profit from the tomato sales.
