Hi everyone, my name is Muhammad & usually called "Kang Mad", originally from Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia, I am the youngest of 2 (two) siblings, I am only a graduate of a vocational high school majoring in culinary arts in Surakarta, I am one of the young people who were forced to work at a young age since 5 (five) years ago, due to financial constraints from both of our parents. Since school I rarely get pocket money and am forced to walk to school and the school fees that I should pay per month, I have to wait for my parents to have money and usually can only pay once every 3 (three) months after the coconut harvest arrives, because at that time there was an economic crisis in Indonesia since the Covid pandemic, I have to try to get income for daily family expenses including paying for standard living such as daily food, electricity, water and my education costs. My hobbies are rock climbing and socializing with friends for social issues. I started this business because the only plant that my family manages is coconut trees.

My business is young coconut ice, a very simple culinary venture with minimal capital but high potential daily profits because it can be consumed by people of all ages. My product is original young coconut ice, with various flavors, such as syrup and palm sugar. My target market is motorists, city workers, school children, and young people. My main goal is to generate profits to finance my education to a higher level. Thank you, Zidisha, for allowing me to join the global Zidisha membership.

With this funding, I will purchase equipment for transporting young coconuts, which I've only been transporting manually. However, I will eventually purchase larger equipment to accommodate more, making it more efficient and faster. This will allow us to get our goods to market more quickly and save energy.
