I joined TGT in year 2018 were I was able to learn on how to manage my business and practicing modern farming methods. The loan which I took of 1,000,000/= have enable me to purchase highbred seeds and use drip irrigation which has increased my capital as the production have been multiplied. “I am more financially independent Thanks to TGT and I am looking forward for the long business relationship.”
