'For this' vs 'for this reason'

Hi there, I can't decide whether I should use 'for this' or 'for this reason' in the following context. Do they sound natural in the following context?

- I am a trader. I deals in rice. Due to heavy demand, I have ordered rice from other states. For this/for this reason, I have hired 5 trucks so that I can bring the raw materials from there.

Both are possible. There is a slight difference in emphasis. If you use "For this reason", the focus of the sentence is more on why you have hired the trucks.
