$840 needed to purchase farming materials and seed add to rent land
$230 contributed by Jacinta towards her project
With the initial investment Jacinta rented land for potato cultivation, bought Irish seed potatoes, some fertilizer and a sheep. She will use the sheep manure as an organic fertilizer. She also used the money to improve her home sanitation system. With future investment and from a growing income Jacinta’s goal is to buy land for her potato farm. She plans to donate seed potatoes to her relatives to help them establish their own garden.
As her potato production increases, Jacinta will be able to hire local labor to help with cultivation.
