About Me

I am a 75 year old graduate who has worked peacefully until retirement. Throughout my live, i have loved to farm. Everyone who has live with me has known how to farm including all my grandchildren. I have done both animal farming and crop farming. Animal farming included poultry and cattle while crops included vegetables, tomatoes , maize among others. After retirement, my life has take a southward direction, so I would like to revitalize it buy increasing commercial farming.

My Business

my business at the moment involves crop farming where i deal with vegetables , tomatoes and onions farming. i also sell seedlings to those in need. the market is available for these crops because of shortage of food in the markets due to drought and unreliable rainfall. I'd like to increase my farm and if possible start mechanical irrigation because manual irrigation is slow and tiresome.

Loan Proposal

I'd like to expand my commercial farm to help improve its performance. I have worked it but I still need more funds to help improve it. I am also interested in employing some youths to work it out because I am elderly and I require help . Also I need to create jobs for the needy. Additionally, I plan to diversify my farm to improve the quality of produce. Thanks.
