My name is Stephen, a resident of kitale in Kenya. I'm an enthusiastic farmer and also have interest in value addition to farm products as well in engineering solutions to solve problems that farmers face day to day. I'm also interested in agriculture which is actually what I want to be remembered for. In the dry season I have the habit of boosting my Agricultural production to take advantage of better prices in the market. I usually grab the opportunity to produce vegetables off season so as to capture the good markets when supplies are low. I already have about 3000 plant population under capsicum but I am pushing to plant more to reach an area of 1 acre.
I'd like to grow my farming enterprise by taking it up more seriously. I'm targeting school markets as these are easily available to me given my acquaintances with school heads. I also do capsicum, beans, cabbages and maize. This dry season my specialty is capsicum which is coming up well. In my long term plans I'm however going into avocado production and oil extraction. I am making avocado pulp drying apparatus for this purpose. The funds will enable me to have the drier and hydraulic oil press ready by February when the next avocado season kicks in.
I intend to purchase stocks of well cured timber to facilitate production of unique furniture so as to carve a niche market for high quality furniture in my locality. Part of the wood stocks will be african hardwoods that require specialty sawing to produce.
