Your location matters when selling. How and where you sell it depends on your target market. I'm in Lagos and I sell at Mile 12. I sell in bags while some else where sell using weighing scale.

Yes anybody can take his produce there, but you can't sell buy yourself neither can you dictate the price.

You will handover to the agent there who will sell for you on commission.

Cucumber can be planted in dry season without getting bitter, provided it gets adequate water.

Tnks. I'll like to plant it this dry season but I want to be triple sure. Have u ever planted it in the dry season. If yes, which variety? Pardon me pls.

Current price per bag I don't know but the last I sold around 2 weeks ago was 3k5


Average cucumber per bag: this depends on the size of cucumber and the type of sack. However, I've never counted before so I can't tell.

Arvinkris:

Marketer is an Op and it's nowhere near even the worst hybrid I terms of what you mentioned above.

You're welcome

Please can you give the total number of bags harvested over the 70 day period and the approximate weight of the bags.

Do you use the bag size for 50 kg rice or the bigger 100 kg size as your standard bag?

They are both hybrids and have about same gestation period.

Tokyo F1 produces greener fruits which is more market friendly than Nagano. Let me not mention the yield..

Yes... You can even start with less. All you need is to be ready to do some of the work yourself
