About Me
My name is Mhlangeni and I am a farmer. I grow crops and sell them at the nearby farmers market to raise money to expand my business. My dream is to one day be a large scale commercial farmer who empowers the local community.
My Business
I grow vegetables on the farm like tomatoes and green beans. Once our harvest is ripe, we transport it to the market to sell with the goal of expanding our business to supply retail shops and supermarkets and this is why I intend on diversifying our crop variety to include crops that can be sold at scale.
Loan Proposal
With the loan I will be able to buy more inputs and grow more vegetables, I love farmin and I want to expand my business into other types of vegetables that are good for this climate. Tomatoes and cabbages sell really well this time of year.
Income Source
Yes we have the same problem in my country but because I am able to grow food I am allowed to sell my produce. I practice safety health measures and social distancing to ensure that everything is done in a hygienic way. And I also have deliveries to door steps.
