Uganda - Business creation project

Describe your project or startup in a few words

My goal is to move our agri-produce from the era of using some chemical products that have had many of our agri-produce banned or blacklisted from the world market to use of organic products through rabbit urine and droppings for manure,fertilizer etc

01.01 Describe your project in more detail

Miracle Rabbits&BunniesOrganic is a business project that intends to use Rabbit Urine and droppings for fertilizers pesticides and insecticides around both large and small scale farming businesses. This is done by mixing the rabbit urine with chilli and ash and different proportions and sealing it for specific days depending on the intended purpose this is to control the pha and ferment the urea aswell, thus cultivating it. This business idea is backed by policies that do not allow farmers that intend to grow produce for export to use particular chemicals in their gardens and are further encouraged by government and corporative societies to use organic products as much as possible in their farms through the seasons. Not only are the rabbit waste to be income sources in this business but also the rabbit meat is becoming a growing delicacy around the nation it being white meat a common doctor's recommendation. Rabbit hides are also used in art& fashion. Bunnies are also sold as pets.

01.02 What is the main problem you are trying to solve?

Use of chemical products in farming that has destroyed the land poisoned many farm workers along the way causing them chronic illnesses and deprived the nation access to a large market to their produce it being and agricultural nation that would benefit the country's GDP I would love to also serve as a model business to other youth in my country for job creation and employment, specifically self-employment.

01.03 Tell us the major benefits and/or advantages of using the product/service that your project intends to provide (at least 3).

-The risk of illness and land destruction from using chemicals for farming is greatly controlled and reduced - It also creates market for other local produce like the chilli used in production. -it offers farmers another chance to having their products to standard and possibly accepted in the World markets -They are cheaper and more reliable than chemicals are since quality control can be well followed up knowing the production of the fertilizers and pesticides is local -Does away with waste since many farmers can take on the model of using animal waste specifically rabbits,to their benefits other than letting it go to waste out of illiteracy - The rabbits also serve as food in the community -it is healthy for the climate and agricultural land other than some chemicals that have left land barren and unproductive for use any more.

01.04 Please describe who exactly your project is aimed at serving. Who are the targeted beneficiaries?

Both small and large scale farmers are my main targets with an end goal of raising their produce back to exportation standards to offer them a fair chance to earn from their sweat better. My secondary beneficiaries are hotels and restaurants where rabbit meat which is deemed healthier than many meats like chicken can be used to substitute them while benefiting the citizens health.
