My name is Makote Shalony a Zambian woman of 41 years old a Lunda by tribe from North western province but currently i am basing in Mpongwe.
I started grade 1 in 1991 at Mwanawanzambi community School by then i was 7 years old, i learned at that School from 1991 to 1998 after that i was taken to Mpongwe boarding School and there i completed my secondary School, after i completed School 2 years later i started working as grocery sales lady. Now i had a certain young man who used to be my best customer this person was coming to buy goods from me almost every day now one day he proposed to me and i rejected his proposal but he continued proposing to me even so other day and definitely i accepted him and we got married, after 6 years of being in married we decided that we buy a farm and this was my wish when i was in School that one day i have to buy a farm and definitely we bought it together with my husband.
And in this farm we decided to started growing crops such as Chili and carrots and Tomatoes.
We really love these kind of crops especially Chili because when we start harvesting them we do it every after 2 weeks and we keep doing it for the next 3 years so its profitable and Tomatoes and carrots we also make profit out of them because they are on a high demand and most good part of our farming system iwe use irrigation system so we don't stop farming we continue year in and year out.
About our culture i really love Agriculture.
My wish is to see that my children get better education some to be doctors and accountants and in additional farming is very important.
I love Agriculture very much because it makes me to have money every week.
As i have said earlier in my introductory part of about me we do farming business as other sources of income, we do grow 3 types of crops such as Chili and carrots and Tomatoes, these crops they very good crops to grow be they on a high demand and have profit, and the customers just come on their own to look for them and not us farmers to go and look for them.
This types of crops have made use to take our children to at least some good Standard of Schools and pay their School fees, feed our family and buy chemicals for spraying to Tomatoes and other crops.
I want this loan to buy urea fertilizer and weed killer chemicals for spraying in the Maize and I also want to maize seeds and when it grow it will help me to expand the farming system by buying more irrigation system
Buying the farming inputs
