BUSINESS
Kinagop is endowed with good climate where crops do very well. We grow a variety of crops with the help of my wife. Mostly we grow Irish potatoes, cabbages and carrots. We also have 2 dairy cows which do very well in this area. On average the cow produce 14kg of milk per day which we use at least 2kg for home consumption and the surplus we sell to Tulaga Farmers Co-operative Society Ltd. On average we earn U.S.D 100 per month which we use U.S.D 70 for our monthly expenses and save the rest. In most of the cases we sell potatoes and cabbage after 3 months making an average income of U.S.D 150 after expenses.with this income I can comfortably repay Zidisha loan.
Zidisha and my dear lenders,am anticipating to upgrade my farm with 2 heifers from producing high variety cows which are from renown sires the price per heifer is expected to be u.s.d 1200 for the 1st one which is few month to lactate, the 2nd one is yet to be inseminated and the cost is u.s.d 600.am doing this to improve and upgrade my farm which will in turn give more production hence more income. Please lenders am posting the loan for the 3rd time having expired twice without funding hope this time will be funded and make my project success thank you in advance.
