[b]Urban Vegetable farming - How to make passive income from your backyard garden

Vegetables are the cheapest source of essential minerals and vitamins to humans. For a long time, it has remained a common ingredient in many popular African sauces, soups and stews. Many entrepreneurs are taking advantage of the large demand in city markets to make quick profits by farming vegetables in and around Africa’s growing cities and towns. Using vacant land in home backyards and cheap migrant labour, urban vegetable farming has become a source of direct and passive income for some people. Let’s see what this opportunity offers and how you can take advantage…

Why is the demand for vegetables growing in African cities and towns?

Unlike other food commodities like grains, yams and cassava which are farmed in the rural areas and transported to the cities, vegetables are highly perishable and need to stay fresh to preserve its nutritional and market value.

As the size and population of African cities grow, and more people migrate to the cities from villages, urban vegetable farming has become the best alternative to get fresh vegetables to the city’s markets. According to UN estimates, the urban population of Africa will treble by the year 2050. Africa has had one of the world’s fastest rural-urban migration rates in recent decades. Lagos (Nigeria), for example, which had less than 80,000 inhabitants in 1940 now has more than 13 million people living in the city and is expected to become the world’s 11th biggest city by 2017 (with a population of over 16 million people)!

In the absence of adequate refrigerated storage and good roads, vegetable supply to most African cities is increasingly supported by reliable urban vegetable farms. Urban vegetable farming provides between 70 to 100 percent of the vegetables consumed in many African cities today. Closeness to the city and much lower transportation costs have made this venture a very lucrative one for more than 100 million Africans.
