Ms
Adama Jallow is making great move as she passionately focused her venture into
seedling nursing in Serrekunda.
A
2018 Global Youth Innovative Network (GYIN) award winner, Ms Jallow is the
proprietress of SJ Farmyard Enterprise.
She
told Youth Forum that she started her agribusiness outlet in early 2018 with
the support of her father, who inspired her to venture into seedlings preparation
and selling.
After
engaging in this viable business for some time with passion, Miss Jallow then
secured another piece of land at Sotokoi in West Coast Region to continue
farming.
She
said he employed youth to assist her in the farm.
Ms
Jallow stated that she is satisfied with her sale which, according to her, is a
lucrative business as she made good sales in 2018.
She
revealed that she sold seedlings range from mangoes, oranges, pawpaw, avocado
and coconut to earn good income.
She
planned to expand her business and engage in poultry production.
‘‘Definitely
I need support to expand my business in future and I without support it would
be very difficult for me to expand my business,’’she said.
She
challenged government to support her to expand her business.
She
said if government aid young people in the country it would prevent them from
engaging into criminal activities and contribute their quota to the national
development.
‘‘Government
should support youth in the country to create employment opportunity for
them’’, she pointed out.
