About Me

I couldnt see anything but i knew we were in Nigeria..........where i started my Kindergarten and Nursery Education.
Came to Ghana with my Parents in 1990.....where my Basic, Junior, Secondary n Tertiary Education came to a realization.
Life after school hasnt been easy, a young guy from Bonwire (Home of Kente Cloth), eventhough from Bonwire, cannot weave properly because i took my education seriously.......so i had to go into the business aspect of it, selling cloth to make a living. Instead of struggling around in search of job i have decided to go into farming business since i did Agriculture at the University n Secondary Level.
I am currently the District Agriculture Extension Officer for the Sekyere East District in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.

My Business

I am into Vegetable Production, (Garden Eggs n Pepper)
Pinneapple, Rice and Maize Production all at small scall since i have to rent the land for production.
I have also put up a structure housing 200 poultry birds.
Now my focus have shifted more into the pinneapple production because its returns on investment is enormous.
There is a ready market for the produce, its suckers can also be sold or use to expand business at any time.
I believe the project will impact positively in the lives of farmers.

Loan Proposal

This loan will help me purchase organic fertilizers for my pineapple production.
This stage is very important and will determine the success of the project
1 bag is USD 15.00. And will require not less than 20 bags per acre.
It will help increase yield of production and labourers who work on the field will get first hand experience to transfer technology to their field.
This will help increase profit margin by 50%.
