About Me

My name is Francis Mike Eshun. Am 34 years, married with 3 children, Marshall, Emmanuel and Jonathan. I hold Master of Education (Science) Degree and work as Technical Officer (Extension) with Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD). Before joining COCOBOD, I was teaching at Prestea Senior High Technical School, with Ghana Education Service.

Farming is a passion, I have acquired a land in my current station, Nkonya Wurupong in Hohoe-Kpeve District to venture into farming in addition to my work.

My biggest aim is to help feed Africa through Agriculture, and in future hope to expand the farm. Cocoa, Plantain, Cabbage, Tomato, Economic Trees are what I grow.

My Business

My current business in farming. Plantain, Cocoa, Economic Trees, Cabbages and Tomato.

I dream of helping feed Africa. I am doing so well, but my difficulty is financing the project, especially the cabbage, with irrigation to ensure I produce cabbage year round. In addition, hiring labour force, getting insecticides and regular control of weeds needs intensive capital injection.

Project Proposal

I will use the funds to purchase liquid fertilizer, insecticides, certified seeds and weed control chemicals.I will also be able to purchase other containers to store water for chemical weed control.

This will enable me to expand my farm, protect it against pest and diseases and ensure I have very great products for the market.

With is funding, my farming business continue to see 20% increase in my profit margin and am so happy for the funders. I believe this way I can contribute my quota to helping end poverty in my family as well as contributing to food security in Ghana and West Africa.
