My Business
I am a farmer and I have been farming for the past 20 years now. Farming is everything to me because it is farming that I use to take care of my family: I am able to pay for my wards school fees and buy books for them through farming; I pay hospital bills through farming. Infect I do everything with farming. I cultivate tomatoes which is about three acres of land, yam which is about two acres of land, cassava which is about five acres of land, cocoa which is about twenty acres of land and cashew which is about fifteen acres of land. I will like to lay more emphasis on the cocoa. The cocoa tree bears two harvests of cocoa pods per year which is around September and lasts through March. In a good harvest, am able to produces nearly 32 bags of cocoa beans in a year, earning him around 2,200 dollars total, or the equivalent of six dollars a day. Aside all this production, I always have problem with money which I will use in maintaining the farm for another season. And sometime money for taking care for my family all is because of loans I take from banks.
Loan Proposal
