Why this business works now

It can begin with a focused crop plan and expand into seedlings, compost or training as capacity grows. The plan explains site preparation, planting calendars, inputs, irrigation, harvesting, grading, packing, sales, team roles and production records.
Produce and related income
Fresh crops can be supported by seedlings, compost and training.
Local customer network
Households, traders, shops and institutions create several routes to market.
