About Me

I have grown up in kamfinsa, Kitwe on the copperbelt. I am married with 3 kids.I graduated from Mwekera school of Agriculture with a diploma in Agriculture science. Due to the lack of jobs, I decided to have my own land where have variety of seedlings tomatoes, onion, vegetables etc which I sell to most farmers. I also keep village chickens. I started these ventures with with a small amount I had saved after working at a white man’s farm. My children want to become farmers so that we can feed our nation together.

My Business

My business is mainly vegetable farming whereby we are involved in selling a variety of local vegetables. I also invest in village chickens and plan to expand my business. These village chickens have a huge demand.. Then rest of the farm area is covered in agroforestry where we grow number of crops and keep trees for sustainability. The cost I face with selling is transport to deliver to markets to sell.So transport is a cost.
