Loan Proposal

Once the request is successful,i would use 70 dollars to purchase urea fertiliser for my millet farm on my ancestrial piece of land in western kenya.the one acre requires 2 bags of 50kg each and 1 bag of 25kg.one 50kg bag goes at 25dollars.it has been a culture that we grow maize every rain season,but this time after thourough research,i learned that 1kg of millet goes at 1dollar,against 1kg of maize at 0.4dollars,with intensive care ,eg spraying crops,when on the farm.im approximating to harvest 360 kg,which is far much better than the cultural maize,which has been earning me 20dollars at harvest,since its planted by almost everybody.so market is ripe for millet,since suppliers are very few,as compared to demand,since its the best for porridge in homes n hotels at breakfast.
