My name is John Kwesi Dei. I am married with two children. I currently live in Ghana in a city called Accra. In Accra, I stay at Achimota. I am an Account Officer by profession but lost my job 2 years ago. This challenged me a lot, and I was left to start my own business: Jodek Farms. I have developed interest in managing my own business and seeing to it that many others- both workers and customers benefit from it as has been my dream. I have been to college education and have acquired some few knowledge and certificates in short courses relating to my field.

In my business, I use my earnings to buy feed for my fowls and use part to keep the environment safe for the fowls. Though it has not been effective as expected, I know it will get better with your help. I use my leisure time to read more about my industry and connect with people with like passion and mind.

The name of my business is Jodek Farms. Jodek Farms is a poultry farm with over 600 birds. I established this business in May 2003. With this business I am able to supply day-old-chicks, eggs and chickens to individuals and other businesses which may be in need.

In Ghana, a large section of the population buys eggs to add up to their meal if they cannot afford meat and fish. This has made my business a lucrative one. Also, because of my vision to enlarge this business to a global standard and my impressive progress, many people patronize in my chickens especially when they are considering health and hygiene. I am also building a formidable and healthy relationship with my customers on a daily basis. This has been the reason and a secret in my business - the reason why people will patronize in my business than other competitors, particularly in this industry.

I am challenged to buy healthy feed and to provide conducive temperature for the poultry especially in harsh environmental conditions. I really want to expand by so doing overcome these risks. Some of my chicken die out of diseases and sicknesses I am not able to handle because of financial difficulties.

At this preliminary moments of intense challenges, I make less than GHC 300 profit in a month. I am determined to use this loan to increase my profit margin 2 times the amount mentioned.

This loan will be used to buy poultry feed for my fowls. In my previous loan proposal I stated that I needed to buy more day-old-chicks- which I did. Now these are 50 percent matured and the expenses for feed has consequently increased. With this loan I will be able to buy hygienic feed for my fowls to ensure a healthy growth and also increase my competitive advantage in the market share.

In Ghana, a bag of poultry feed is close to USD 35. However, getting quality feed is another challenge in my country. This has generated a keen competition among Poultry Farmers to negotiated with higher amount in order to be able to bid for the quality so as to protect your fowls and sustain your business.

I will really rely on this loan proposal to increase my business and employ other workers. My Poultry Farm is growing and I need your help to sustain it. I will humbly upload pictures of progress of my Poultry business for you.

Thank You for your kind help.
