    I will buy small quantities of fertilizers, seeds and farm insecticides and use the rest for hiring labour( i.e transport) to ensure or enhance smooth operation of farm activities. The money will greatly help me to improve farm produce which will add value to my agro-business. I wish to thank my donors for considering my application .
