The most important consideration is the target market. Sell first and plant later is always best. The most common mistake is to plant and then trying to figure it out how to sell it and to whom. This requires a bit of pragmatic research and planning, especially about prices, quality and quantity.

It is very important to know as much as general information about the land, for example: location (address), size and shape, access to public services (water, electricity), roads, amongst others. Then, it is important to know specifics of the land such as: type of soil, climate, surrounding and existing vegetation, available equipment and buildings, history of previous plantations on the land. Other determinant factors are: agricultural skills, availability of labour, availability of cash and access to credit. With this information, we can formulate the type and amount of seeds needed for your land, the frequency of planting, agronomic practices, pest control and post-harvest activities.

All this seems complicated and that is why it is important for a professional to visit your land and give you the best advice to start the right way. AgroUbuntu Solutions can assist you. Book a visit with us.
