  • I have channeled my little resources over the years in purchasing arable lands that I give to relatives to farm without charges. I also lately realised it was better to offer personal monetary and material loans to encourage people to farm than for them to rely on handouts. I started these personal loans in the 2020 farming season with the hope that it will be a win-win for all of us.
