For instance, he says he could make GH₵20,000 every four days just from harvesting an acre of tomato farm.
"As we speak now, one box of tomatoes, the 72kg cartons that the women sell in the markets, costs GH₵5,000. If I plant an acre of tomatoes, I will harvest it every four days. and I will be getting four or five of those boxes from my second or third day of harvest. So if I harvest four boxes every four days, I would make GH₵20,000,, and I would be getting that every four days," he explained.
He disclosed that he found farming through a former classmate who guided his journey into agriculture after many failed businesses.
Bra Kwaku, also known as the Veggie Farmer, in a video sighted by YEN.com.gh on SVTV Africa's YouTube channel, said he started farming with close to GH₵7,000, investing in leasing land for his farm.
The Veggie Farmer also said that any youth who wants to venture into farming must be ready to work hard as the challenges could be enormous despite its lucrativeness.
