VEGETABLE FARMING—ARE YOU READY TO MAKE REAL CASH?




Many of us may not have thought that there is money in vegetable farming. Many women are making money secretly in this area. In fact, vegetables have become a necessary part of most meals in almost every family. Whenever  I want to cook any soup, I usually add pumpkin leaf to it. I simply cannot do without it. And this might be your case too.

If you go to market regularly to purchase vegetable, then you will realize just how expensive it is. A small bunch of pumpkin that you can rap easily in your palm sells for 50 naira. This quantity is not even enough to put in your soup. In most cases you have to buy 100 naira worth of pumpkin. The same goes for other vegetables. The bottom line: vegetables are very expensive and you will make pretty good money if you decide to venture into this business. 

Sometime ago, I saw a woman trying to board a motor bike to the market with a big bunch of pumpkin leaf. When I asked her the cost of the bunch she said it was 20,000naira. I was surprised. I never knew it would cost that much. Interestingly, pumpkin leaf is in high demand. You sell it immediately it gets to the market. You can also sell it within your neighbourhood. 

WHAT YOU NEED FOR A START
To start vegetable farming you need a good knowledge about the crop. You need to know when it is planted for maximum yield. Also, you need a fertile plot of land for this purpose. To realize more profit you need to take the produce to market yourself after harvest. By so doing, you eliminate middlemen.
