Am graduate from a public institution in Kenya.I have struggled a lot though i thank God i can now take this step to being a farmer.i realized the need of watermelon when i used to visit hotels ,it was in high demand and that's when i decided to try the and ventured into it.The place where i live is harmoniously welcoming for any person from any part of the world.my free time i spend doing charity work as am passionate about humanity .
I am a farmer i mainly deal with cultivating watermelon in small scale but i would like to get a boost to increase the acreage of my farm.watermelon is in high demand in almost every meal we take we need fruits .its the cheapest and most affordable fruit.i was convinced by a friend and i also did my own research on the viability and the market share and demand for the same product. The revenue comes from my pocket which is not enough.The profit i get mostly take care of getting more land and doing more research on the best type to plant for better profit.
The loan I am asking for will help me buy pesticide and pay farm labourers in my small 1 acre farm.it will also assist in paying transport fees for the crops from market to the nearest market.Due to the nature of watermelon ,it needs quick transport and protection from the sun immediately it has been harvested. Its also perishable crop.I feel the amount though small but will help a lot in helping my need .
