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

I chose spice production because in Kenya, spice is an industry that is not fully tapped into. Yet it is a very lucrative venture that would solve the problem of unemployment by providing a source of income 'directly' through the employees who will be hired on the "King Spice" farms, in it's processing & packaging plants and the farmers who will supply produce to "King Spice". Indirectly the project will impact the exporters, the loaders & off loaders and the retailers at the end of the value chain. By creating and running a successful establishment. The project can and will grow to Industrial scale and at this point we will impact the unemployment issue on a Global scale according to our growing capacity. We expect to reach industrial scale of productions within 20yrs.

One our first project we will provide casual jobs to at least 7 women and youth for land preparation, planting, weeding and harvesting. Our Goal is to scale to an 100 Acre spice production farm to scale up on the production of our six chosen spices. At this capacity we will be able to hire upto 50- 100 full time farm employees. This includes farm management, pack house staff, farm hands, farm security. Indirectly we will financially impact farmers who'll sell their produce to us, the community around us, our export partners, our foreign clients, their retailers and their consumers.

When the crop is ready we will guide them on proper harvest procedure then we will buy their produce and resell to our export market. We plan to perfect and maintain this cycle economy for 50 yrs once the initiative begins. During this time we will also plan how we will incorporate a "Farmers Cooperation".

As "King Spice" operations grow we will construct processing plants, pack houses and storage rooms. With the infrastructure to increase operations capacity we will allocate funds to the construction of proper roads that cut through the community and lead to our farms or processing plants. The frequency of traffic coming in and out of the farms and processing plants will greatly impact the trade within the surrounding community economically. This will attract a rise in infrastructural developments like rentals, shops, hotels, a police post, fueling stations, bank branches and more infrastructural growth will follow.

Among the resources we will have a stronger say in are; A) Water - We will work with the community leader or leaders in overseeing the use of the water from the boreholes to avoid water conflicts among community members & any favouritism during water allocation to each community land owner. This will help in making the water reserves last longer. B) Together with the community leaders we will oversee the allocation of land for a dumping site. We will buy a pickup track for the community/towns garbage collection. A clean town with a sustainable circular economy will attract investors from the beyond the country. - Plastic garbage will be collected separately by the community initiative we will put in place that guarantees that the community gets the money from the collected plastic sold to recycling factories. This money will go to the community account to aid in the community development.

Top Food East Africa - Is the largest manufacturer of spices, seasonings, masala in Kenya & is also exporting it's products to other countries in the region. => Factors that will make us stand out from our competitor are; A) We plan to cultivate our own spices from the beginning of the project. This will enable us to guarantee that 40-50% of the raw produce processed and exported from our processing plants come from our very own production farms. B) By planning & working towards a circular economy. We intend to have the full loyalty and support of the communities around our farms & processing plants. This will guarantee us new partner farmers from different regions of the country who will help boost the rate of our production. C) Most of the spices on our catalog are seldom cultivated in Kenya. This will make us the pioneers of seed production, imparting of cultivation & harvesting knowledge, processing and exportation. This spices are; Vanilla, Saffron, Tumeric & White Truffle.

10.06 Menez-vous des actions au sein de votre communauté pour promouvoir le rôle des femmes entrepreneurs ?

I helped a friend of mine called Sylvia with Ksh.7,200/- to start a 'chapati' cooking business from 5-10pm. Her target market is the working class of 8-5 leaving work around that time. She makes Ksh.1,500-2,000/- per evening from chapati sales. In a month she makes Ksh.36,000-48,000/-. She has since completed paying the loan i gave her and after 5 months after she opened she's contemplating opening a small hotel near a bus terminal. I look at her growth and desire to grow even more and she gives me motivation to start my spice cultivation dream. So that i can impact the lives of more young women and men like me, who are hungry for an opportunity to accomplish their goals and materialize their dreams.
