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 am having a challenge transporting my tomatoes each week.

the tomatoes have good market value in foreign markets.

at the end of the season in two months i look foward to have made over 1200 usd in profits.
