BUSINESS
Kinagop is endowed with good climate where crops do very well. We grow a variety of crops with the help of my wife. Mostly we grow Irish potatoes, cabbages and carrots. We also have 2 dairy cows which do very well in this area. On average the cow produce 14kg of milk per day which we use at least 2kg for home consumption and the surplus we sell to Tulaga Farmers Co-operative Society Ltd. On average we earn U.S.D 100 per month which we use U.S.D 70 for our monthly expenses and save the rest. In most of the cases we sell potatoes and cabbage after 3 months making an average income of U.S.D 150 after expenses.with this income I can comfortably repay Zidisha loan.
