My Business

my business entail in green grocery,i sell vegetable,fruit, pumpkin and many other fruit that is used by a human being, the business is very profitable to me because i have made a good relationship with my customers so many prefer my product cos i sell fresh sometime from my shamba and also thy know that i don't use chemical in growing this product. this kiptagwanyi center became busy in 2008 after post election violence that occur in this country, many people leave from where thy were residing to this town and i became lucky by knowing many of them even some of them didn't have cash to buy even vegetable to cook but i was able to give some in dept and after sometime thy became stable by having money as many relative of them came to help and some get used to the people around and was given jobs around. the main challenge is high price of commodity in the place where if i have nothing in my shamba go to buy so to sell to my customers.poor road in this area like rainy season that made road unpasseble ,also high price of living that is accelerated by high inflation in this country
