my name is John Kamau. I was born and raised in Kenya where my family lived below the dollar. the struggles I faced motivated me rather than breaking me. I looked for a way of overcoming the struggles and I came to find tomato farming. tomato farming is an entrepreneurial venture that is yet to grow bigger and has the capacity to grow very much. If I push through my farming I will be in a position to provide a better future for my kids.
one of my kids is very passionate about being a doctor. He challenges me and keeps asking questions related to medicine. sometimes I am forced to browse for answers.
my business is tomato farming. currently, I am farming a half an acre piece of land. however, i am looking to scale it as the demand is gradually growing. in fact, I plan to double my production. at the moment, my monthly costs are around 190 usd, and the revenue is 310 usd. I re invest 40% of my earnings, and use the rest to cater for my kids education and home improvements.
i intend to use this loan to transport my tomatoes to a bigger market place.
the prices at the local market are way too low and access to a bigger market will help increase my income. i am more likely to get 150% more earnings.
