About Me

Am a Kenyan, Civil Engineer by profession and currently working with the Government of Kenya. Am also a farmer particularly engaged in agribusiness with focus on horticulture.

My Business

I do horticultural farming, mainly producing fresh vegetables for local and export market. I have a contract with an Export company to supply French beans throughout the year . I do local vegetables on rotational basis; these are sold at the city of Nairobi. Currently am farming on a 20 acre piece of land under furrow irrigation in Narok County. Am planning to expand and also venture into fruits for exports.

Loan Proposal

Hi. Having successfully planted acres of french beans, am now seeking to maintain them and taking good care of them. As such, am seeking to purchase fertilizer (about 10 bags of 50kgs) for top dressing. In Kenya, the cost of one such bag is 30 US Dollars, thank you for your support.

    Payment delayed by my customers by another one week, hopefully by next week they would have settled.

    There's a delay in payment of my invoices, however, the same will be paid at the end of the month thus the request to reschedule, thank you.

    Am experiencing some delays in payments from my customers thus the need to adjust the payment installment. I trust the payments will come through within the next two weeks, thank you.

    Hi all.
    I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for accepting to fund my project.
    Indeed I will use the funds to purchase fertilizer and other farm inputs.
    This will help me to take advantage of the short rains season that is currently on.
    Once again, thank you very much.
