This is one of the most queried issues on the internet today when it comes to agribusiness. It means one thing: people want to delve into agribusiness; farming for money, to earn a living but are skeptical because they luck sufficient information which is vital in helping them make good decisions.
That’s where we (Money in Agribusiness), and many other bloggers come in. We understand the information deficit out there, and we are here to put an end to that.
But before we go any further, let us put one issue to rest first because we don’t want you reading this, visitors on this site to get us wrong. True, there’s money in agribusiness, but ONLY WHEN DONE RIGHT! We are not only here to tell you that there’s money in agribusiness — which is not a lie by the way — but we are also here to remind you that for you to succeed in it, then you MUST do it right. We don’t want to give you the wrong impression from the start, have you waste your time and funds into something that may never actually work.
And how do you do it right?
I know you will be asking that, especially if you are new to farming, and that’s why we are here. To show you how we are going about it ourselves, but if you don’t wanna do what we are doing, then we will be sharing with you what others are doing so you can learn from them instead. But just to stress on the most important points: one you have to be interested and have passion for farming, second you must research about the crop of your choice so you do it right, and then funding is important but you can start small.
For us, we started with capsicum (pilipili hoho) which is in flowering stage at this moment, and managu (African nightshade) which we have already harvested twice and sold to customers who are always hovering around the farm for it. The demand though, maybe because of the current COVID-19 pandemic which has forced people to eat healthy. But prior to that, we planted yellow beans, from where we raised the capital for the capsicum project. We had planted the beans early this year, about quarter an acre.
Last week we also transplanted about eight hundred stems of kales (sukuma wiki), which will be ready by late this month, and which we will be selling throughout December to January-February. And soon we would also be telling you what we are doing in the livestock sector, and in fighting global warming.
In the books section, the editor is a young writer and author and with your permission would like to use this platform to inform you about his works. Currently working on my debut novel, an interesting nook about a young man who returns home after losing his job and his girlfriend to take up farming and eventually proper in life, and achieve most of the things he dreamt about as a kid. I’ll be giving hints as we continue sharing, and eventually reveal the title when its ready for publishing. I have a shortstory, an ebook on Amazon, “The Burned Beard” about a returnee, a guy who’s been away in the city for a whole decade finally returning home donning this heavy beard on his face that his mother can’t accept and wants it gone to see his son’s face, but the son won’t have it.
