I am a graduate with a degree in Biochemistry ,i live in Karatina doing horticulture and poultry framing as my core business. My aim is to increase my business volume and employee as many local as possible. There is always ready market for my produce and in fact i cannot satisfy it. With the zidisha loans I will be able to expand the horticulture produce and add more broiler chickens. This will also improve my returns and give my business more muscles as I climb higher.
My business is farming I engage in horticulture specifically tomatoes, cabbages, among many others. I also have broilers chickens and local chickens which I want to increase systematically to for both. Currently I have two farm workers and would like to add two more after increasing my production. I would therefore need a loan that could trigger the growth am anticipating. This venture will not only help me but the school leavers who end up idling due to joblessness. All my produce are sold in the local market. I make an average of KSH 30,000 as profit from farming every month. A loan of $1000 would help me to add more chickens and increase my input for the farm produce.The market is wide but my ability is limited by lack of sufficient capital to expand as I have to wait for some time. I have sufficient water supply but local wild life always pose a threat to my produce as they sometimes invade and destroy some of the vegetables.
I have 5 weeks old 300 broiler chicks which is a progress from my previous 250 chicks and would like assistance from the zidisha lenders to buy 2 bags 50kg broiler finisher feeds (feeds given to broilers in their last stage of growth). My dream is to have more than 1000 chicks through assistance from zidisha lenders. As i embark on laying ground for the construction of a new poultry house that can house many more chickens at a go , i would like assistance from you to back up my feeding program for my chicks. Your help is highly regarded
kind regards
