Hello! Please a brother really need your advice, I'm a young man that want to go into farming but I'm really not sure which of pepper or tomatoes farming I should go into,I've gotten a piece of land,thanks .

I am not into farming business but I know we use pepper in virtually everything we cook. I cant say that for tomatoes.

Both are lucrative. You should look for which is faster. As a farmer. the faster you can get your product off the farm the faster you make money.

its about the timing: i have sold pepper for 15k per bag and towards the endof october 2021, it was going for 3k per feed bag.
speak to the sellers of either of these two to establish the trend and then link up with people who have skills to train you how to farm either.

Thanks so much

From your writeup, it seems like you are new to farming.

Farming is a business, and lack of adequate training before venturing into a business is recipe for business failure and losing your money.

Pepper is more hardy than tomatoes in terms of disease resistance, as a novice I will advice you to go for pepper when compared to tomatoes.

But it will be better for you to grow what the locals in the area are growing. That will be your best bet of getting a successful farm as you will be following a known path and not experimenting, unless you have undergone specific training or research that will help you succeed in growing plants that are not native to your area.

Vegetable farming for business is a very intricate farming

You must have capital

You must have the farming knowledge

You must the needed inputs

You should be capable to carry out dry season farming to maximise profit
