hello sir, let me answer your questions the way you asked
1. yes, cucumber is sold per kg. there's no static price. it can vary from 80-200 depending on the season or location

2. the unit also can vary, you can expect between 0-30tonne per hectare, depending on farm practise adopted.

3. for cucumber, you have the spa, premium and open market, fast foods, caterers and hotels. hope that answers all your questions

confirm

whoever asked you start with a plot. loves you from the heart.

you only hate the road when you're missing home.

I need your advice brother Jasper. I have a plot of land. I am wondering if it will be cost effective for me to start cucumber farming there? Considering the fact that I may have to sink a bore-hole there.

yeah... I started with a plot too, it was worth my while in the long run and gave me courage to expand to hectares. I advice beginners to test it up in a plot, make as much mistake as possible before moving to bigger land.

Wow, marvelous. But nwannem, I have over 200plots (30acres) of land to farm on, tried cassava last year but the price of cassava now is not encouraging and I can't plant cucumber on all the land. What else can you advise me to go into that can give me good returns.
thanks

oga what else to plant is not the issue, I think u still have a lot of research to do
1 Study ur area and know which agric produce is in high demand.
2 Try and have basic knowledge on how to produce this crops
3 Lastly sir u have to experiment the crop/crops on a small scale until u get them right...... sir I think a mistake was made already, but can be corrected, leasing such area of land (30 acre) was a big error without having tangible things to plant, but the worse is when u later plant on it and ur are the mercy of the buyers that won't be interesting at all.
So I think u can do or home work and reach a good conclusions. Best of luck.

jasper7:

The farm is in Ilorin kwara state.

@soloxam, I got the land with hope of planting cassava but with what cassava is now that's why am looking for what else to farm. I knw the land is not a waste

sir, if you want to go full vegetable this year. the truth is that the advice I would give you won't be too far from what my brother, soloxam has given you.
you have 2 options, 1. you can seek professional help for set-up and management or partner up with a professional. and 2. start small and grow gradually.

The truth is that with the size of land you have, there are many profitable vegetables you can plant and make money from.
