The model includes the components and functions of the business, as well as the revenues it generates and the expenses it incurs. My project business model will consists Good theoretical model + Good implementation = Leads to project success. The project plan will generate revenue and make a profit from operations. At the end of one season I will produce 60 tons = $ 17,600 sales, with a capital of $ 12,586/ 10ha. Means that, the benefit is $ 514 and at the end of season two I expected to produce 63 tons / 10 ha due to highly improved production activities and increased experience I will earn. Considering the financial source, most African youth in low-income countries have different critical ideas but the problem of capital is being a hindrance to turn their ideas into reality. Therefore, it is the same case I am concerned, as am currently a student. That means, I have problem of constantly seeking capital to run my project. So that I present my idea to ask support, to turn my project into reality. The plans for future growth, the project aim to satisfy the local people then extend later from my local district to the neighboring districts such as KAYONZA, GATSIBO and NGOMA for the purpose to improve the production of banana crop in Rwanda.
