My Business

Since 2008 i have done several businesses including fish mongering, ice cream vendor and milk ventor however as time went by i realized vegetable were on high demand in the area and since their was available land at our place i ventured in to agriculture producing vegetables and selling to people. My grocery sales all types of vegetables onions and tomatoes pepper and other ingredients needed for preparing vegetables.

Th e shade will enable me to sale during rainfall or hot sunshine it will also enable my vegetable to remain fresh for longer time as they will not be directly exposed to the sun.
