really appreciate this breakdown of the production process, been tuning in from day 1. would like to know if the processors you supply require you to deseed the peppers before delivering and also if sweet pepper would have a similar cost break and production cycle.
When growing scotch bonnet peppers it is very difficult not to treat your field without utilizing pesticides. However each pesticide would have a Pre Harvest Interval (PHI) which would outline the period in which the fruit would be safe to reap.
One thing though…you said that you broke even on plot one because of the rain but if you had 16 weeks of reaping at 2000lbs per week that’s 32,000lb. If that’s calculated at the lowest sale price it would be 3.2mil, so it took that much to grow plot 2? I probably didn’t understand something
In the same way you calculated the revenue it would also be quite simple to calculate the investment costs because all those figures were also mentioned, ensure you also calculate the labour costs as well and the rate paid per pound for reaping. Keep in mind also that 2000 pounds per week was not for the entire 16 weeks because the production is not maximised in the initial harvesting period.
what! 100 to 400 dollar per pound. wow. its worth it. I was thinking about how much could you posible sell for in order to make good money in this. but at that amount per pound, hummm, thats not bad.
Farming like all this comes with risks but you can manage it as you go along. Therefore even though you may plan for this rate of return, it might not always materialise.
Absolutely LOVE your content! Keep up the great work and thank you soooo much! I do scotch bonnets too but my first project was very small and I encountered so many difficulties with insects. I am going larger this time so I am researching and getting my plan together.
Remember this is our experience. You might choose to use different types of fertilizers or even less fertilizers, but this is what we chose. Don't be discouraged, do what you can.
Don't be negative my friend, take the information and plan your action if you're serious about farming, she just helping us by sharing the information remember she's not obligated to share anything with us , she could just focus on herself and not share any information be grateful for knowledge.
Thanks for the development
Keep up the good work 🙏🌶️🙏
Thanks
Thanks sis, very comprehensive breakdown, continue the good work
Thank you for the support
Please accept my gratitude and thanks for this information. I will be reworking my business plans using your information.
Not a problem 👌
Great video, I'm planning on going into pepper farming a perfect.
You could incorporate folair fertilzers to get a bigger yeild.
Thanks. We also incorporate foliar fertilizer which we will show in other videos to come.
Love the content. The variety of scotchy looks different tho.. Are you sure it wasn't a crossbreed?

Not to deseed, but to destem. Thanks much for the comment.
How can i purchase some seeds of the scotchbonnetpepper and get it ship to me in 🇨🇦
Will have to check with the ministry with responsibility for exporting produce.
Good morning g, how does the spraying affect the papers. Doesn't the pesticides get into the peppers , or is it sprayed before peppers bear

What is the spacing you plant the peppers at
This plot is high density. So it's 2x2 zig zag.

2000 lbs per weeks, by how much. How much do you sell for?
Like everything else, prices vary and is determined by multiple factors.
They said $100-$400 per pound

100000 a month for fertilizer? I do not believe that. you just trying to discourage me from farming pepper.
Why would she be "discouraging" you thou?

This was very informative. Keep it up

I totally believe her, if you have been in farming then you would understand the expenses associated with same.
