Décrivez votre projet en quelques mots

Grace Filled Beginnings, it's an agriculture business but currently sell eggs with the aim of expanding the business into a successful agriculture business,that will open jobs,skills and fight against poverty in the community and the next generation.

01.01 Décrivez votre startup en détail

We've start off by buying and selling eggs from the local farm, which is a bit challenging because of the supplier not being reliable. Though there's a lots of challenges but we have made lots of customers from the begging of the project until now, lots of been so interest in supporting this project and they hoping that it will bring change to the community. Expanding from buying to the local to working on starting producing to our farm has been challenging but has taught major lessons that we hope we will able to pass on to the next generation that have the same passion for agriculture. Due to the high rate of unemployment and the demand for agriculture projects in our country, we saw the opportunity and grabbed it with hands and use it as a chance to bring change to the lives of people that are unemployed, educated or uneducated. We still don't have enough equipments but that doesn't discourage us from keep on keeping on.

01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?

Chicken are known for their high rate of reproduction,rapid growth,and low maintenance requirements. This makes my business attractive and lucrative option,the problem IAM trying to solve is that our country economy contributing to jobs creation and food security,high costs, health issues and emissions are the biggest challenges to profitable and suitable poultry farming. This project is coming to solve the problem of the lack of industries dedicated to the production and marketing of eggs in the nation.

01.03 Dites-nous quels sont les principaux avantages et/ou bénéfices de l'utilisation du produit/service fourni par votre startup (au moins 3).

Positive environmental impact,like raising my own chicken for eggs reduces my reliance on commercial eggs production,which often involves large-scale factory farming methods with significant environmental consequences. Raising chicken offers a multitude of benefits,one of which it is the invaluable by product they yield-their manure,which plays a significant role in fostering robust plant. Profit immediately,chicken are easy to set up and operate,the initial investment is low and the return on investment is fast
