Great work at OP but please help me with some questions as someone that want to invest.
1. Why are you using growbags? And not planting directly?
2. What type of soil did you put in the grow bag? Is it treated soil, just any soil, loamy or sandy soil.
3. How do you intend to water the cucumber considering the irrationality of rainfall?
Is there a well nearby or borehole?
Is it drip irrigation or sprinkler?
Is it hand wetting?
4. What type of land preparation is 30k?. I meant is it uprooting of trees or clearing and burning? Is it ploughable land?
5. What quantity of bamboo do you source at N40,000? 100 pieces or more
6. What type of staking are you looking at?
7. How much with fixing the bamboo cost?
8. How many pieces of bamboo will an acre require?
9. What type of sack are you using. Is it the recomended one or an alternative source?
10. Whats the name of the agrochemicals? What will be the application rate? per week or per month or everyday? What quantity will i be using?
Is it Liquid fertilizer or NPK? Is it organic or conventional?
11. Which brand of seed are we using? Hybrid or open field? Whats the quantity requirements in grams per acre? How long did it take to germinate? What is the colour of the cucumber?
12. Is it only one farm assistance?
Will he be the one to handle the labour work for the one acre?
Or we will later need more hands.
13. Is the 10k logistic for a month or two month?
14. What will be the yield of the cucumber in tonnes or kilo or in bag?
How do we sell the cucumber?
Who are the expected buyers?
Will they come and buy on the farm or we transport to them?
What is the distance of the farm to the nearest market?
15. What will be expected price of our products if its peak period or low petiod of sales.

Sorry for the long story. But once bitten twice shy. One needs to be very very careful especially with nairaland farmers.

1. Is the ROI of N500k to N1m per month or for the period of 3month?
2. Are we planting in batches on the one acre or planting once?
3. How do we harvest to have 50%, 40% and 50% respectively in August, September and October.
4. Who is the farmer and how is the farmer involve ?
5. I would also love to know how you calculate the yield in bags, tonnes or kilo with the expected price in August, September and October. This will help me in calculating the ROI by myself.
Still apologising for the long questions.
Thank you
