About Me

My name is Bismark Owusu, I was raised in a town in the eastern region of Ghana called Suhum. I was born in the year 1988 and completed secondary school as my level of education. After schooling, I decided to start my own business and the aim was poultry farm but, due to financial problems, I started rearing snails for about five years before starting the poultry farm.

People here are respectful. The main occupation in my town is marketing. I really like learning so I used to do personal studies about agriculture.

My Business

I am rearing fowls (broilers). I used to order a hundred chicks according to the strength of my capital. The demand of my customers is higher than I have. I am the only person rearing where I am. I chose this business because there are several businesses ongoing at this place but I realized no one is taking part in the poultry farming. I want to increase the number of the birds from 100 to 200 due to the profit I earned earlier; thus is 110 dollars. Due to that, I will still need your support again.

Loan Proposal

My poultry farm is still ongoing by the help of zidisha. Am pleading to you again to grant me a new loan so that I can use it to buy feeds, vaccines, trough, feed box and other essential items to manage it well.

    Snails? That is a very unique business! Will you still raise the snails or will the chickens eat them?

        Look into Vermiculture for growing worms for your poultry. It is an inexpensive way to grow food using plant and vegetable scraps, cardboard, paper, etc.
