.Vegetable farming can be a money spinner for any enterprising entrepreneur.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Why?<\/span><\/p>\n

Every household in Nigeria <\/span>consume one type of vegetable or the other.\u00a0 There is hardly any soup made in any household, in restaurants, hotel, local joints and <\/span>boukas that will not contain vegetable.\u00a0 And when you consider the fact that Nigeria has a population estimated at about 200 million people and still growing with hundreds of thousands of visitors into the country on a <\/span>daily\u00a0 basis, you will see why demand is high, why supply is always insufficient and why the business of vegetable farming is lucrative.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are a school leaver, a graduate, a retiree or someone preparing to retire or you are considering a business to go into, or someone who is looking for what you earn you passive income while on your full time job, think seriously about vegetable farming.\u00a0 It is easy to start, require little or no expertise (illiterate mothers in the villages live it), have <\/span>short cycle from planting to harvesting, and can be done on any scale that your finance can reasonably support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thus, even if you start on a very small scale and you do it well, the opportunity is there for you to scale up and grow very big in a short period of time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Types of Vegetable You Can Grow<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There are more than 30 types of vegetables that are grown in Nigeria, though some are in more demand than others.\u00a0 Lettuce, onions, okra, cucumber, carrots, tomatoes and pepper are some of the vegetable type that are commonly farmed in Nigeria and which are in hot demand.<\/span><\/p>\n

A prospective investor is advised to carefully weigh the options before deciding on the type of vegetable farm to invest in. <\/span>Factors to consider before you decide on the type of vegetable farm to invest in include cost requirement, market size, how fast the vegetable grows, how pest and diseases impacts on the type of vegetable and how easy you can learn the processes if you have no prior knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n
