My name is Patrick Mukanzi from Amalemba village Kakamega.I attended musingu primary for my primary certificate and later(2000)joined kakamega high for my secondary certificate.i later joined and completed my deploma course in business management at jomo kenyatta university of agriculture and technology.I was employed as a business mentor in Village Enterprise(NGO based in kakamega) from 2010-2014.My role was to train business owners,monitor their businesses ,collect and submit weekly reports and data collection.

I am am currently involved in self employment(agribusiness).I grow and sell vegetables which include kales,capsicum,and pepper.Business is my main source of income.I have also begun livestock business(piggery) .

I like playing soccer during my leisure

My weekly average sales in vegetables -$300.I sell my products to schools and to suppliers in kakamega town.There is little competition since i offer the best products.

Demand for vegetable products is high in this region since many farmers only grow vegetables for domestic use and not commercial.

Risks encountered include:weather changes and perish-ability.

Hi,

I have five thousand fish in my five fishponds measuring 300 square meters each.The fish are between two and four months old.I plan to harvest and start selling the fish in the next 3 months.Feeding has been a challenge for the last two weeks after having used the money saved for an unexpected emergency(treatment).

I will appreciate help from members.

Thanks.
