The opportunity
Why this business works now
Fresh vegetables are purchased every day, but commercial buyers need reliable volume, quality and delivery. A diversified crop mix and staggered planting reduce dependence on one harvest or market price. The plan explains land preparation, irrigation, crop scheduling, input use, harvesting and routes to market.
Diversified crops
A mixed crop programme spreads production and market risk.
Staggered planting
Planting dates can be scheduled to support more regular harvests.
Several buyer routes
Produce can move through markets, traders, retailers and direct sales.
