My name is Kwame Jagri from Dambai in the Oti Region of Ghana. I am a young graduate of Bueman Senior High School, Jasikan where I studied Agriculture. After graduating from School, my father died and I as the elder son had to take care of the family, so I went in to farming to put what I learnt in school into practice while I make some earns meat to feed the family as well. I'm now happily married with 3 children.
I am a professional farmer and also rear animals. I have Cassava farms, Yam, maize farms and more. I have been farming since 2003 after graduating from SHS. It has been good as I have employed about two workers on my farm and 1 worker in my animals farm. I also have people who work for me on part-time basis. I have a tricycle which I use to convey my farm produce and also supply to my customers who buys in bulk. Its my strong desire to produce food in large quantities and export to the world some day so I am highly focused.
I need the loan to buy more yam tubers and plant this year. I have decided to increase the quantity of yams to produce this year due to the high demand for yams. This loan will help me meet the timeline for the planting season.
I will use the sales I make from the sales of maize and Cassava to repay the loan. Because I provide essential service, the COVID-19 has not really affected my business as such because people still buy every day.
