About Me

I am a Kenyan citizen, East Africa.I received my education, both primary and secondary education in my rural village.Life was a challenge growing up and things were not easy on us.The struggle for survival was all we focused on each and every day.School fees problems, as well as proper healthcare, was a big challenge while growing up.I worked extra hard in school in order to achieve the best that I could.I settled down on my farm after my university studies to start farming.I began my farming business from a bank loan.My land has good climatic conditions which are wet and thus suitable for farming.My children would like to have good jobs in their future.My unique pastime is reading novels, agricultural journals and advising my children.I also love cooking as my hobby and storytelling.

My Business

I am a coffee farmer and that is my main source of income.I grow coffee on large trucks of lands.I sell my coffee products to coffee manufacturing companies, local markets as well as in the neighboring countries.My coffee products or rather this business is on a very high demand because of the quality of coffee that I offer I produce.My coffee is of the top best quality and many factories and markets prefer my coffee, therefore, making it be a very great demand.I also produce coffee in bulk.I am a heavy grower and therefore the supply of my coffee is constant and on very large tonnes thus the companies trust me.I choose this business out of the love for farming, I grew up farming and therefore farming is all that I needed while growing up.I do not have any specific typical costs since the business is run on varying amounts depending on the seasons.I save my profits, invest some portion back to the business and educate my children.I also use the profits to reinvest in the business and thus expand it to become more profitable and thrive.

Loan Proposal

My farming activity has been running so smoothly despite one problem of getting the best fertilizer.This has affected my coffee farming so greatly.I have been harvesting low yields due to the lack of proper adequate fertilizers.The quality of the coffee has also reduced and this has affected me in the market because it has lowered my profits and my earnings therefore has faced a reduce. This has affected my family negatively and it has caused a lot of inconvenience because i depend on my farm business and my family depend on my work and this has therefore affected us negatively.I need high quality and the most appropriate fertilizer and i will use this loan to purchase the most top quality fertilizer to boost my farm and boost my yields as well.This will also improve the quality of my coffee and i will be able to sell my coffee at good prices.This will be of great benefit to me and my family because we all depend on this farm business
