Testimonials
"I am a happy agent from Transnzoia County, Kiminini Subcounty, Nabiswa Ward. My business journey started as a smallholder farmer with Uzima Chicken, purchasing one-month-old chickens from Uzima agent. I was impressed by how healthy and fast the chickens grew, which motivated me to try purchasing day-old chicks. I began with 300 chicks, and now I am raising 600 chicks. My target is 2000 chicks by the end of this year. Through my work as a Uzima agent, I have managed to educate my children and construct two modern poultry houses. This has significantly expanded my poultry capacity, contributing to my overall success.
Nilikuwa nikipambana na viwango vya juu vya vifo kati ya vifaranga wangu kabla sijagundua kuku wa Uzima. Kuku wao ni ubora wa hali ya juu na tofauti imekuwa ya kustaajabisha. Ninapendezwa na utendaji bora wa kuku wa uzima na nina mango wa kupanua biashara yangu. Wateja wangu hununua vifaranga wa mwezi mmoja na wameridhika sana na ukuaji imara na wa haraka wa hawa kuku.
