About Me

My name is Kumi Damoah Obed.I come from Berekum in the Brong Ahafo Region. I started my basic school at Akab Complex School, i furthered my education from there to Sunyani senior high school in Sunyani. My parents are farmers by profession hence all my education cost was funded by their product earns from the farm. In life it takes one’s own imagination to be poor or rich, thus you can identify a problem and solve it. when I completed my secondary education, due to my conscientious ability towards work, and courtesy that i have for people i was employed in a store and began to identify the needs of the community. With the little savings made, i started my own farm. My hobbies are reading and listening to music.

My Business

I am a commercial farmer ,I grow horticulture for sale to my villagers and and friends.I always irrigate my farm during dry seasons through the manual way by using watering can of which I use to fetch water to water the crops. Because of insufficient water supply to the crops due to larger state of the farm, supply for vegetables is low and as such I only get premium prices for my goods.
The demand for my goods is always high because of growth in population and reduced arable land .Most urban families depend on farmers like me to supply them with vegetables.

I look forward to having increased revenue as a result of good harvest, my daily profit will shoot from $45to about $65. Thanks a lot dear lenders. I will be prompt in repaying the loans.
