About Me

I am Korir Wesley, a graduate in Bachelor of science in information technology. I have a passion in farming, I grew up in a farm and I spent most of my childhood working in our farm.

My Business

I ventured into tea seedling farming, this is after I did a research and found out that most farmers are willing and ready to plant tea but lacking the seedlings to plant. I saw a ready market and this led me into building a nursery.

Loan Proposal

I will the money to purchase more sleeves which means i will plant more seedlings. At the moment we are experiencing the long rains which is the best weather for tea planting. With this weather and the money i will get, i know will make a huge difference.
My budget is as follows
1. Sleeves----------$30
2. Labor------------$25
3. miscellaneous----$15
The cost of planting one seedling and the expenses required till maturity is approximately $0.05 and the price i expect to sell a seedling after 6 months is approximately $0.12.
