2. Agriculture Business Raising $900,000 Working Capital, Machinery, Facilities, Equipment, and Automobiles
We operate a growing mixed agriculture business in Kenya that excels in providing a wide range of horticulture products that are on demand and essential commodities for consumption locally and export to Europe, Middle East and other African countries. We are a ten years old company which began its operations in May 2012 with just three employees and in this short span, we have grown up into an organization with 15 employees and average of 30 part time workers mainly youth and widows.
The business is in the most impoverished remotest part of Kenya Makueni county with the capacity of rearing 23,000 chickens at a time and repeat every 7 weeks. We have fully equipped facilities with automatic drinkers, gas heaters, and feeders for broiler meat production and enough water for irrigation. Both poultry and horticulture products are on high demand both for local use and export. We have been contracted by buyers for both the poultry and the horticulture products who buy the products from the farm for export. These contract buyers provide us with technical support of Veterinarians and horticulturalists during the production period by visiting the farm at least once a week and providing technical and professional advice. Local traders also come to the farm to buy the products for resale in the local market.
With increasing client base and product demand, we are planning to expand our operations to Kajiado county in Kenya where we are purchasing 105 acres of land to construct new poultry facilities and grow more horticulture products. Therefore, getting funded would . We are anticipating immediate increase in our revenues in poultry. We will be using these funds to manage the poultry restart up costs that include:
Description Amount $
1. Purchase Broiler chicks 23,000 @ $1.15 =26,450
2. Feed:
a. Starter 0.15 x23,519=3,450x 1.05 = 3,623
b. C1 0.06x23,460= 1,408x 0.85 = 1,197
c. C2 0.04x23,460= 939x 0.80 = 752
d. C3 1.91x 23,460=44,809x 0.80 =35,848
3. Rice husks for bedding = 4,065
4. Vaccines and supplies = 5,243
5. Salaries for 15 workers = 11,131
6. Transportation = 7,112
7. Heating Gas = 4,732
Total =100,163
$900,000 for the following:
1. Machinery: Feed processing plant, Refrigeration system, Three phase Generator, Tractors, and plows.
2. Equipment: Poultry automatic feeding system, automatic water system, Heating and cooling system, Milking Equipment
3. Automobiles: Delivery trucks, Refrigerated meat, fruit, and vegetables delivery vehicles
4. Facilities: Slaughterhouse, Poultry houses, sheep pens, dairy cow shed etc
We were producing both poultry and horticulture products until July 2021 when the government imposed restrictions on meat production during the Coronavirus pandemic. We opted to invest the poultry working capital on harvesting water for irrigation. The government has now lifted the restrictions and we are able to embark on poultry production and provide employment for more local youth, widows, and others to provide for their families. The funding for our business will go long ways in contributing to the local community employment opportunities and development.
Therefore we are requesting funding for working capital of $ 100,000 that will be helpful in conveniently managing the poultry restart up costs and acquiring a slaughterhouse and cooling system. Upon request we shall provide the contracts with our export buyers and complete a business plan.
Thank you for your sincere consideration.
Sincerely,
