My name is Stephanie Qothrunnada. I currently live in Central Java, Indonesia. I work in urban agriculture, utilizing vacant land to grow organic vegetables such as beans, spinach, and chilies.
The profits from this organic vegetable business through urban farming will increase my family's income, including my child's school fees. I've been running this organic vegetable business for five years, utilizing the land around my house. Due to the increasing scarcity of land in urban areas due to urban development, which is increasingly limiting agricultural land, I utilize the small plots of land around my house.
Through my second loan from Zidisha, I will cultivate organic chilies in my garden next to my house. The capital required for this loan is IDR 800,000, with a weekly net profit of IDR 150,000. Organic chilies are a trending market in traditional markets, especially among urban households. Through Zidisha, I will be open to sharing with other women farmers.
