In the video sighted by YEN.com.gh on TikTok, the young farmer suggested that okra farming is difficult but rewarding after harvest.

"Not the easiest crop to grow, but I think when you plant and take good care of it, it can generate revenue," he said.

According to the caption accompanying the video, the young farmer allegedly makes around $2,000, equivalent to GH₵30,817,676.20, per day from his okra farms.

If this figure is accurate, the young man would make approximately $60,000 a month, equivalent to GH₵924,530,286.00.

Again, if the claim of making $2,000 per day is true, then the CEO of Green Rush Farms would be among the richest individuals in Ghana.
