Chionetsero is 34 years old, and a youth farmer married with two children aged 6 and 1 years old.
He relies on farming as his primary source of income for his family. His wife helps him during farm activities. Chionetsero has two years of experience in agriculture. After trying several unsuccessful businesses, he joined horticultural farming and thought of starting farming.
He is a beneficiary of the FIFAD program and the leader in his group known as the Dzawe Club. He plans to buy a solar-powered surface irrigation pump to help him extend the area to irrigate and cultivate more than three times a year.
The new loan will also help him cut costs on buying fuel for the borrowed engine pump since they borrow engine pumps from others for a fee.
He believes that for the youths to do better in farming, they must love what they do, do it passionately, and dedicate their time to farm activities.
