Make Money Planting Watermelon
Are you tired of working tirelessly with nothing to show for it? Are you uncomfortable eating from hand to mouth, always living in debt from month to month? Are you tired of unsuccessfully roaming the streets in search of jobs that are hardly available? Have you been looking for a simple, straightforward and legal way of generating reasonable amount of income without necessarily working like a Jackie round the clock? If your answer to these questions is yes, this may be the single most important letter you will ever read this year.
You may have tried various ways of improving your financial lot in life with many hitting the rock. Some on the other hand may be complex and difficult to implement. In some cases, it takes a long time before realizing the expected benefit if only it will come at all. In cases of food products, there may be difficulty in marketing and they eventually get spoilt. What happens also when you don’t have the time and energy to really get things done?
But do you know that with a little startup capital, seriousness and readiness to follow some simple practical steps, you can drastically improve your present financial state. Before I go on, let me tell you that I am not compiling this piece of information as an Information Marketer. An Information Marketer is one who gathers information from different books and package them to sell to people for money. An Information Marketer may not even understand what he sells. It does not matter if what he sells benefit the buyers or not. All he is interested in is his cool cash. May be you have at one time or the other fallen into the hands of such wicked people and thus you are scared. Please be informed that I am not one.
Rather, I farm watermelon myself and what I am proudly giving out is what I do and carefully put together to emancipate people financially. And you too can do it. Before now, when people hear of or see watermelon, the assumption is that this is a vegetable from Northern Nigeria. Many feel that watermelon can do well in that part of the country only and thus, it is not popularly cultivated in other parts of the country.
On the contrary, watermelon can be grown in all parts of the country. In fact, the warmer temperatures and longer growing season of the southern areas especially favors this vegetable.
Now, many in Edo, Delta, Lagos, Oyo, Ekiti and several other states have been benefitting from the high income potential watermelon business has, and you too should not be left out.
Testimonial:
On the 31st of March 2010, Daily Trust Newspaper interviewed a farmer by name Mr. Mustapha who says: ‘Ever since the people of the area discovered that the commodity can be harvested in commercial quantity, watermelons have become their source of livelihood…’ He added: ‘One of my watermelon farms is 10 hectares and can get as much as two trailer loads of the commodity’. The newspaper mentions that a trailer load of watermelon can cost as much as N2.4 million.
These are people who hardly apply fertilizers and know nothing about any chemical whatsoever and yet are successful. How much more you who will be provided with all the information you need.
Several families have relocated from Lagos to Edo state solely for the purpose of farming watermelon and they are not regretting their actions in any way.
Let Me Tell You Why You Need To Farm Watermelon
a. Little Start-up Capital and High Return on Investment.
You need as little as N30, 000 to get started and if this guide is followed, the minimum you can make from a hectare is N250, 000. Imagine the potential of cultivating more areas of land. I have ordinary people like us without any special expertise here who are making millions of naira twice annually. Believe me and believe more in yourself dear friend, you can conveniently earn a comfortable living planting watermelon.
b. Very short ‘Gestation’ Period.
Gestation period here means the time period between planting and harvesting. You do not have to wait for one year to sell your product and smile to the bank. Instead, within three months or less, you are already made. Even if you have to pay interest on loan, you can easily absorb the shock because of the short time involved.
c. High Nutritional Value
Watermelon is low in calories and very nutritious. It is high in lycopene, second only to tomatoes. It is also a good source of Vitamins A and C, can fight some forms of cancer and is very good for those suffering from hypertension and some other related diseases. Hence, both the rich and poor have become consumers of watermelon.
d. Readily Available Market
Because of its high nutritional value, watermelon is a highly demanded product. There is great market for watermelon in all major cities in Nigeria and Africa. Do not be surprised if you cannot meet up with all those requesting the product. The fact that you can sell in bulk even from your farm makes the marketing of watermelon so interesting.
e. Ease of cultivation
Farming watermelon is not as stressful as the conventional farming that is so tasking and energy-sapping and with little or no good return at last. Watermelon farming is just like Vegetable farming with a little more attention.
