About Me
I am an entrepreneur in the food industry and I produce vanilla and chilli value added products for local consumption. I am a single mum and love being a parent. My goal has been to take excess products and turn them into something that can be stored for a long time in case of drought or other agricultural factors.
My Business
I make vanilla extract and paste as well as sell the beans. I also make chilli blends. The products are sourced within East Africa and are also sold locally. I hope to give farmers a consistent market so that they can support their families and grow their businesses as well. I want to scale up to reach the supermarkets volumes in the next one year.
Loan Proposal
I will buy chillies to process for sale.
I have already started so I need an injection to scale up.
