About Me

My name is Frimpong Kingsley.I come from Fiapre 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. I completed my secondary education and due to my hard work, and the respect 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.

Loan Proposal

Initially i used $70 to buy pesticides and also half of the amount to buy spare parts to repair the spraying machine that i used to spray the farm. i had revenue of $30 - $40 per month . with this revenue range i get $60 of profit in good month. but now due to economical meltdown, prices of imported products as well spare parts has increased drastically and because i employ these materials in my farming business,
Thank you lenders
